Question

(i) Gas (A) is more soluble in water than Gas (B) at the same temperature. Which one of the two gases will have the higher value of K_H (Henry's constant) and why ?

(ii) In non-ideal solution, what type of deviation shows the formation of maximum boiling azeotropes ?

Answer 1

(i) Gas B will have the higher value of K_H (Henry's constant) as lower is the solubility of the gas in the liquid higher is the value of K_H .

(ii) In non-ideal solution, negative deviation shows the formation of maximum boiling azeotropes.
