Which of the following statements about Henry's law are correct?

  1. AFor most gases in water, increases with temperature, so solubility decreases on heating
  2. BAt a fixed temperature the mole fraction of a gas dissolved in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure over the liquid
  3. CA gas with a larger is more soluble at a given pressure
  4. DSoda water bottles are sealed under high pressure to increase the solubility of

Answer: A, B, D

Henry's law is , so (statement 2) and , so a larger means lower solubility (statement 3 is wrong). rises with temperature for common gases, so solubility falls (statement 1). Higher pressure raises (statement 4). Answer: 1, 2 and 4.
