What is the simple mathematical form of Henry's law for a gas?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: p = K_H x
With the common Class 11 convention, Henry's law is written as p = K_H x, where p is the partial pressure of the gas above the solution, x is its mole fraction in the liquid phase, and K_H is Henry's law constant. Rearranging gives x = p/K_H, not x = pK_H. Other choices do not represent the standard direct relation.
