At a fixed temperature the Henry's law constants (for ) of gases X and Y in water are bar and bar. Which statements are correct?

  1. ATo dissolve equal mole fractions, Y needs four times the partial pressure required for X.
  2. BY at bar and X at bar give the same dissolved mole fraction.
  3. CAt a partial pressure of bar, the mole fraction of dissolved X is .
  4. DAt equal partial pressures, the mole fraction of dissolved X is four times that of dissolved Y.

Answer: A, B, D

Henry's law gives . At equal , , and equal needs , so the statements on equal pressure and equal mole fraction are correct. For X at 2.0 bar, , so the claim of is wrong. For Y at 8.0 bar, , equal to that of X, so that statement is correct.
