Question:

Which of the following statements is/are incorrect?

Options:

Solubility of gases is inversely proportional to the $K_H$ value at the given pressure.

The value of $K_H$ is independent of temperature.

Raoult law is a special case of Henry's law.

The solubility of a gas in a liquid varies directly with the partial pressure of gas over liquid surface.

Correct Answer:

The value of $K_H$ is independent of temperature.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → The value of KH is independent of temperature.

Let's analyze each statement carefully:

  1. Solubility of gases is inversely proportional to the KHK_HKH​ value at the given pressure.
    • True, because $C = K_H P → K_H = P/C$, so higher $K_H$​ → lower solubility.
  2. The value of $K_H$​ is independent of temperature.
    • False. $K_H$​ depends on temperature; solubility of gases usually decreases with increasing temperature.
  3. Raoult's law is a special case of Henry's law.
    • True. Raoult's law describes the vapor pressure of a solvent in solution, which can be seen as a special case of Henry's law for volatile solutes.
  4. The solubility of a gas in a liquid varies directly with the partial pressure of gas over the liquid surface.
    • True, this is Henry's law
