The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

According to Henry?? law, $s = K_H \times p$, where s is concentration of $O_2$ dissolved. $s = 1.4 \times 10^{-3} \times 0.5$ $= 0.7 \times 10^{-3}\,mol/L$ $s = \frac{n}{V}$ or $n = 0.7 \times 10^{-3} \times 0.1$ $= 0.7 \times 10^{-4}\,mol$ $n = \frac{w}{M}$ or $w = n \times M$ $= 0.7 \times 10^{-4} \times 32$ $ = 22.4 \times 10^{-4}\, g$ or $2.24\, mg$

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
