Chapter 11, Problem 4RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The factors such as structure, pressure and temperature on solubility has to be discussed. Henry law and the reason why Henry law does not work for Hydrochloric acid has to be explained. The terms hydrophobic and hydrophilic has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Henry’s law can be given as the quantity of gas dissolve in a solution is proportional to the pressure of the gas above the solution.

Henry’s law gives the relationship between the pressure of the gas and the concentration of gas dissolved. The equation can be given as,

$\text{C=kP}$

where, C= Concentration of the gas dissolved

k=constant

P=Partial pressure of the solute in gaseous solute
