Question

According to Henry's law, the partial pressure of gas ( P g ​ ) is proportional to mole fraction of gas in dissolved state i.e. P gas ​ = K H ​ . X gas ​ where K H ​ is Henry's constant. Then which of the following statements is incorrect ?

TestHub · Accepted Answer

The Henry's law equation is P g a s ​ = K H ​ ⋅ X g a s ​ . For a given partial pressure ( P g a s ​ ), if K H ​ is higher, then X g a s ​ (mole fraction, representing solubility) must be lower. Therefore, a higher K H ​ means lower gas solubility. Statement B is incorrect.
