Question

The solubility of gases in water _____ as the pressure increases.

• A. increases
• B. decreases
• C. no change
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A increases

Gases might be expected, to increase in solubility with an increase in pressure. Henry's Law states that: The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas above the surface of the solution.
Hence, option (A) is the correct answer.
