Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Henry's Law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is given by \(P = K_{H} \times x\), where \(P\) is the partial pressure of the gas, \(K_{H}\) is the Henry's law constant, and \(x\) is the mole fraction of the gas in the liquid. The partial pressure of a gas is…
