Interpretation:
The reason for the higher solubility of hydrogen chloride gas than propane gas in spite of its lower boiling point in water is to determined.
Concept introduction:
Solubility is the chemical property of any substance due to which it dissolves in other substances. It is measured in terms of the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in the given amount of solvent. It depends on the intermolecular forces between the molecules. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher will be the solubility.
Boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure and the liquid changes to vapors. It depends on the number of carbon chains present in the molecule, branching,
