Question

The solubility of gases in liquids is not affected by the pressure because the vapor pressure of a substance is not a function of external pressure.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The solubility of gases in liquids is directly affected by the pressure.
Higher is the pressure, higher is the solubility and vice versa.
The vapor pressure of a substance is not a function of external pressure.
Thus, by changing the external pressure, we cannot change the vapor pressure of a substance.
