The solubility of a gas in a liquid is _____. proportional to the square root of the pressure of the gas above the liquid unrelated to the pressure of the gas above the liquid inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid

Respuesta :

Answer:

directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid

Explanation:

Henry’s law,

Sg = k Pg

where Sg, k and Pg are solubility of the gas, Henry’s constant and partial pressure of the gas respectively.  

According to Henry’s law the amount of gas that can dissolve in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.
