Henry’s Law
1. Why are the aquatic species more comfortable in cold water in comparison to warm water?

[CBSE 2019 (56/2/3), (56/4/1)]

Ans : Aquatic animals are more comfortable in cold water than in warm water. This is because the
solubility of oxygen in water increases with decrease in temperature. The amount of dissolved
oxygen per unit volume is more for cold water than for warm water

2.The dissolution of ammonium chloride in water is an endothermic process but still it dissolves in
water readily. Why?

Ans: This is because of the entropy change. In this case, /\ S

is +ve. The ions that were held together in crystalline solid are free and moving in all possible
directions. Its entropy has increased and this makes

, i.e.,

In aq solution so T /\ S > /\ H , /\ G = -ve

4. Arrange the following gases in decreasing order of solubility?

5. Why we need to cool the container of NH3 before opening the bottle?

Ans: The vapour pressure of ammonia at room temperature is very high and hence the ammonia will
evaporate unless the vapour pressure is decreased. Cooling decreases the vapour pressure so that
the liquid remains in the same state. Hence, the bottle is cooled before opening.

6. Why the tanks used by Scuba divers are filled with air diluted with He?

Ans: To avoid bends, as well as, the toxic effects of high concentrations of nitrogen in the blood, the
tanks used by scuba divers are filled with air diluted with helium. (11.7% He,56.2% N2,32.1% O2)

7. Gas (A) is more soluble in H2O than Gas(B) at the same temperature. Which one of the two gases

8.
Vapour pressure of liquid solutions:

9. Assertion: Vapour pressure of 0.5 M sugar solution is more than 0.5 M KCl solution.

solution.

Ans : both true

10. Cutting onions taken from the fridge is more comfortable than cutting those lying at room
temperature. Explain why?

Ans: At low temperature, vapour pressure is low. Also the vapours of the tear producing chemical are
less. Hence it is more comfortable to cut onions taken out from the fridge.

11.Liquids A and B form ideal solution over the entire range of composition. At temperature T,
equimolar binary solution of liquids A and B has vapour pressure 45 torr. At the same temperature, a
new solution of A and B having mole fractions xA and xB , respectively, has vapour pressure of 22.5
torr. Find the value of xA/xB new solution .(Given that the vapour pressure of pure liquid A is 20 Torr
at temperature T)

Ans: XA=1/2,XB=1/2
PT=(P0A×1/2)+(P0B×1/2)
(Given P0A=20)
90=45×2=P0A+P0B.....(1)
P0B=90−20=70
22.5=p0AXA+P0B(1−XA)
=20 XA+70(1−XA)
22.5=20XA+70−70XA=70−50XA
XA=47.5/50=19/20
XB=1/20
XA/XB=19/20 / 1/20=19

mm of Hg, respectively. Suppose that a solution composed of 1 mol of X and 1 mol of Y at 1000C is
collected and condensed. This condensate is then heated at 1000C and vapour is again condensed to
form a liquid A. What is the mole fraction of X in A?

Ans: In vessel A
px∘=300,py∘=100mm
χx=1/2,χy=1/2
px=300×1/2=150,py=100×1/2=50
χvx=150/200=3/4
χvy=1−3/4=1/4
In vessel B
(χx in B = 3/4
χy in B = 1/4)]
px=χx×(px∘)
px=3/4×300=225
py=χy×(py∘)
py=χy×(py∘)
py=1/4×100=25
(px)+(py)=225+25=250
χvx in B = 225/250=0.9
(∵χX(liquid) in C Vessel =χX∨ in B Vessel
