- Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Answer
(2) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Solution
Henry's law: p = KH x
Statement I: For an ideally dilute solution, p varies linearly with x, so KH (the slope) does not change with concentration. True.
Statement II: KH is a function of the nature of the gas, the nature of the solvent and the temperature. The same gas has different KH values in different solvents (its solubility differs from solvent to solvent). False.
