Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option 2, i.e. Ammonia.
- Henry's Law states that,
- The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas above the surface of the solution.
- Which means higher the value of KH, lower the solubility.
- \(S α {1 \over K_H}\)
- The solubility of a gas in liquid decreases with respect to the increase in temperature.
- With the increase in temperature, the volume of dissolved gas increases.
- Ammonia has the highest solubility in the water around 31% w/w at 25 °C.
