Question

Assertion : Pressure does not have any effect on solubility of solids in liquids.
Reason : Solids and liquids are highly incompressible.

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false
• D. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Liquids and solids exhibit practically no change of solubility with changes in pressure.Gases as might be expected, 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.
