Question

The Henry’s law constant (K_H) values of three gases (A, B, C) in water are 145, 2 × 10⁻⁵ and 35 kbar, respectively. The solubility of these gases in water follows the order:

Options

• A > C > B

• A > B > C

• B > A > C

• B > C > A

Answer 1

B > A > C

Explanation:

The Henry’s law constant and solubility of gas in liquid are inversely proportional to each other; hence, the correct order of solubility is B > C > А.
