Chapter 11, Problem 11.2VP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: In the given graph, the gas with the greatest value for the Henry’s law constant, $k_{\text{H}}$ is to be identified.

Concept introduction: 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.

$\begin{array}{l}{S}_{\text{g}}=k_{\text{H}}{P}_{\text{g}}\\ k_{\text{H}}=\frac{S_{\text{g}}}{P_{\text{g}}}\end{array}$

To determine: The gas with the greatest value for the Henry’s law constant, $k_{\text{H}}$.
