Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 53 to 55.
The solubility of gases increases with increase of pressure. William Henry made a
systematic investigation of the solubility of a gas in a liquid. According to Henry’s law “the
mass of a gas dissolved per unit volume of the solvent at constant temperature is directly
proportional to the pressure of the gas in equilibrium with the solution”.
Dalton during the same period also concluded independently that the solubility of a gas in
a liquid solutiondepends upon the partial pressure of the gas. If we use the mole fraction
of gas in the solution as a measure of its solubility, then Henry’s law can be modified as
“the partial, pressure of the gas in the vapour phase is directly proportional to the mole
fraction at the gas in solution”.
