Which one of the following gases has the lowest value of Henry's law constant?
Answer»
`N_(2)` `He` `H_(2)` `CO_(2)`
Solution :According to HENRY's law the mass of a gas dissolved PER unit VOLUME of SOLVENT is PROPORTIONAL to the pressure of the gas at constant temperature m = K p i.e.as the solubility increases, value of Henry's law constant decreases. Since `CO_(2)` is most soluble in water among the given set of gases. Therefore `CO_(2)` has the lowest value of Henry's law constant.
