which of the following gas should have maximum value of KH?
a. He
b.H2
c.N2
D.CO2
Dear Manika,
KH is Henry's law constant and it is characteristic constant for a gas. According to Henry law, 'for a given external pressure of gas, its solubility is inversely proportional to henry law constant' i.e. higher the value of KH, lower the solubility. For the given gases, the order of solubility is as follows:
He < H2 <N2 < CO2
Therefore, He has maximum value of KH (option a).
Regards
