Question

Amount of a gas that is dissolved in a solvent depends on the pressure of the solvent.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in unit test.

The question is from Equilibrium in Physical Processes in section Equilibrium of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) True

To explain: The most common form of Henry’s law states that the partial pressure of the gas in the vapor phase is proportional to the mole fraction of the gas in a solution, therefore we can say that the above-given statement is true.
