Answer:

Water is a polar solvent

Explanation:

We must know that pure dry hydrogen chloride gas does not show any acidic property.

In fact, when hydrogen chloride is dissolved in water, it breaks up into H3O^+ ions and Cl^- ions. This is possible because water is a polar solvent and assists the ionization of HCl.

In nonpolar solvents such as benzene, hydrogen chloride gas is not ionized hence it does not show any acidic property in a benzene solution.

Which of the following should have the largest Henry's law constant (kH) in water?

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that Henry's law is a relation between the concentration of a gas in a liquid (solubility) and the pressure it exerts on the surface of the liquid.

According to Henry's law, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the solubility of the gas in a liquid.

Henry's constant is represented by the symbol $K_{H}$ . And, mathematically it is represented as follows.

P = $K_{H}C$

where, P = pressure and C = solubility

As the pressure for the given species is the same. Hence, the standard values of solubility of the given species is as follows.

Gas Solubility

Ar $3.025 \times 10^{-5}$

CO $2.095 \times 10^{-5}$

Xe $10.519 \times 10^{-5}$

$CH_{3}CH_{3}$ $4.556 \times 10^{-5}$

$CO_{2}$ $8.21 \times 10^{-4}$

As, Henry's constant is inversely proportional to the solubility. Hence, more is the value of solubility lesser will be the value of Henry's constant.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options CO have the largest Henry's law constant ( $K_{H}$ ) in water.
