Which of the following factor (s) affect the solubility of a gaseous solute in a fixed volume of liquid solvent? (a) nature of solute (b) temperature (c) pressure

(i) (a) and (c) at constant T

(ii) (a) and (b) at constant P

(iii) (b) and (c) only

(iv) (c) only

 

Correct Answers:

(i) (a) and (c) at constant T

(ii) (a) and (b) at constant P

Explanation: At constant Temperature, the nature of the solute and the pressure are the factors that affect the solubility of a gaseous solute in a fixed volume of liquid solvent. At constant Pressure, the nature of the solute and the temperature are the factors that affect the solubility of a gaseous solute in a fixed volume of liquid solvent.
