Question:
The value of Henry's constant K$_H$ is:
The value of Henry's constant K$_H$ is:
Show Hint
Remember, Henry's constant increases as the solubility of the gas decreases. It is a measure of the gas’s tendency to escape from the solution.

- greater for gases with higher solubility
- greater for gases with lower solubility
- constant for all gases
- not related to the solubility of gases
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Henry's law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a gas that dissolves in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. Henry's constant (K$_H$) is inversely proportional to the solubility of the gas. As the solubility of a gas decreases, Henry's constant increases, which makes option (B) correct.
