Question 1 — Problem Statement (Synopsis)
Open in Official Paper
The value of Henry's law constant K_H for gas A is higher than that for gas B at the same temperature. Which gas will have higher solubility in water?
See Question 1 in official CBSE Class 12 Chemistry Question Paper (2026)
QuizCluster Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Henry's Law relationship

Henry's Law states: p = K_H · x, where p is partial pressure of gas and x is mole fraction (solubility) in liquid solution. Rearranging: x = p / K_H.

Step 2: Compare solubility at identical pressure

Since solubility x is inversely proportional to K_H (x ∝ 1/K_H), the gas with lower K_H value (Gas B) is more soluble in water.

Final Answer
Gas B has higher solubility (lower K_H value implies greater solubility)
Key Formulas & Mathematical Laws
  • Henry's Law: p = K_H · x
  • Solubility x ∝ 1 / K_H
Important Core Concept

K_H increases with increasing temperature, explaining why gases are less soluble in warm water (aquatic life thrives in cold water).

Common Student Pitfall

Assuming higher K_H means higher solubility.
