A gas ' \(X\) ' is dissolved in water at 2 bar pressure. Its mole fraction is 0.02 in solution. The mole fraction of water when the pressure of gas is doubled at the same temperature is

  1. A \(0.04\)
  2. B \(0.98\)
  3. C \(0.96\)
  4. D \(0.02\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.96\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From Henry's law, if we increase the pressure then the mole fraction of gas in the water will increase by the same multiple. Hence, mole fraction of gas \(=0.04\). Mole fraction of water \(=0.96\)
