At the same temperature, a gas with lower Henry's law constant will have what kind of solubility?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Higher
Using the convention p = K_H x, at the same gas pressure a smaller Henry's law constant gives a larger mole fraction x of gas dissolved in the liquid. A larger dissolved mole fraction means greater solubility under the comparison conditions. The constant is not a statement that solubility is zero or independent of temperature; its value itself may vary with temperature.
