Solution
The correct option is AKH1>KH2>KH3 Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid at a given temperature is directly proportional to its partial pressure of the gas present above the solution.
P=KH𝓧............(eq(i))
Where P is the partial pressure of gas over the solution, KH is Henry’s law constant and 𝓧 is mole fraction of the gas in the solution.
From the above graph we can see that at a given partial pressure, χ3>χ2>χ1
so, T1>T2>T3
and
From equation (i) :
If mole fraction is more at a given partial pressure then, value of henry's law constant will be less.
So, at a given partial pressure χ∝1KH
Hence, KH1>KH2>KH3
The correct answer is option (c).
Alternatively,
The slope of the graph gives the value of Henry's law constant.
Slope for graph having T1 temperature is greater than T2 followed by T3:
Hence, KH1>KH2>KH3
