Question
Drawing (1) shows a system in which an equilibrium exists between dissolved and undissolved gas particles at P = 1 atm. According to Henry's law, if the pressure is increased to 2 atm and equilibrium is restored, which drawing (2)-(5) best represents the equilibrium at 2 atm
Explanation / Answer
Drawing 5....since according to Henry's , the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.
So as the pressure is increased, partial pressure increases and so the solubility of gas in the liquid
