1. Gas solubility increases if the pressure of the gas over the solvent is increased.
2. Gas solubility increases if the partial pressure of the anesthetic gas is increased.
3. Gas solubility increases if a diver descends 10 m and pressure is increased by 1 atm.
4. Gas solubility decreases if the temperature is increased.
5. Gas solubility decreases if the temperature of the body rises.
Further Explanation:
Solubility:
It is the chemical property by virtue of which any substance is capable to dissolve in other substances. It is measured in terms of the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in the given amount of solvent. It is dependent on intermolecular forces, temperature, and pressure
There are weak intermolecular forces between the gas molecules. The average kinetic energy increases with the increase in temperature. This is because the molecules start vibrating about their mean positions. As a result, weak forces are overcome and the molecules re-enter into the gas phase. So solubility decreases with the increase in temperature.
Henry’s law depicts the relationship of gas solubility with its partial pressure. It states that the solubility is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas. Higher the partial pressure of the gas, more will be its solubility and vice-versa.
The expression for Henry’s law is,
[tex]{{\text{S}}_{{\text{gas}}}}={{\text{k}}_{\text{H}}}\cdot {{\text{P}}_{{\text{gas}}}}[/tex]
Here,
[tex]{{\text{S}}_{{\text{gas}}}}[/tex] is the solubility of the gas.
[tex]{{\text{k}}_{\text{H}}}[/tex] is Henry’s constant.
[tex]{{\text{P}}_{{\text{gas}}}}[/tex] is the pressure of the gas.
1. The solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas in accordance with Henry’s Law. So the solubility of gas increases with the increase in its partial pressure.
2. The solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas in accordance with Henry’s Law. So the solubility of anesthetic gas increases with the increase in its partial pressure.
3. As the diver descends 10 m and the pressure is increased by 1 atm, solubility of gas increases in accordance with Henry’s Law.
4. The solubility of gas is inversely proportional to the temperature. So if the temperature of the body is increased, solubility of gas decreases.
5. As we know, the solubility of gas is inversely proportional to the temperature. So if the temperature of the body is increased, solubility of gas decreases.
