State Henry's law. Write its one application. What is the effect of temperature on solubility of gases in liquid ? |
|
Answer» Solution : Henry.s law states : The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure ofthe gas. Application : To INCREASE the solubility of `CO_2`in soft drinks and soda WATER, the bottle is SEALED under high pressure. Effect of temperature : Solubility of a gas in a liquid decreases with rise of temperature. As dissolution is an exothermic PROCESS, the solubility should decrease with rise of temperature according to Le chatelier.s PRINCIPLE. |
