MHT CET Chemistry question

Which is CORRECT about Henry's law?

(A)The gas in contact with the liquid should behave as an ideal gas
(B)Solubility of gases increases with increase in external pressureCorrect
(C)Solubility of gases decreases with increase in external pressure
(D)Solubility of gases increases with increase in temperature

Answer: (B)

Solution

Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas is directly proportional to its partial pressure, so it increases with pressure (b is correct, c is wrong); the solubility of gases usually decreases
