Henry was the first to give a quantitative relation between pressure and solubility of a gas in a solvent.
Choose the correct statement given by Henry.

  1. A The partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase is inversely proportional to the mole fraction of the gas in the solution.
  2. B The partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase is proportional to the mole fraction of the gas in the solution.
  3. C The total pressure of the gases in vapour phase is proportional to the multiplication of the mole fraction of all the gases present in the solution.
  4. D The total pressure of the gases in vapour phase is proportional to the sum of the mole fraction of all the gases present in the solution.
