At the same tempeature , hydrogen is more soluble in water than helium. Which of them have a higher valuem of K_(H) and why?

Answer»

SOLUTION :As `p_(A)=K_(H)x_(A)`. Thus, at constant temperature, for the same partial pressure of different GASES, `x_(A)=1//K_(H)`. In other words, SOLUBILITY is inversely proportional to Henry's constant of the gas. Higher the value of `K_(H)`, lower is the solubility of the gas.
As `H_(2)` is more soluble than helium, `H_(2)` will have lower value `K_(H)` than thatof helium.
