Question

Consider the following statements:
Statement-1: The solubility of gases in liquids decreases on increasing the temperature.
Statement-2: The solubility of gases in liquids increases on increasing the pressure.
Now, choose the correct option.

• A. Only statement-1 is correct
• B. Only statement-2 is correct
• C. Both the statements are correct
• D. Both the statements are incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both the statements are correct

The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas and is inversely proportional to the temperature.
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
