While dissolving a gas into a liquid at a constant temperature, the ratio of the concentration of the gas in the solution phase and in the gaseous phase is _______________?

Correct answer: D. Constant

  • A. Infinity
  • B. Unity
  • C. Negative
  • D. Constant

Explanation

At constant temperature, gas-liquid equilibrium follows Henry’s law, so the ratio of dissolved-gas concentration to gas-phase concentration remains constant. It is not necessarily unity because the two phases generally have different concentrations.
