                                                     SOLUTION



   HENRY LAW -  At constant temperature , the solubility of gas in liquid is directly proportional to partial pressure of the gas present above the surface of liquid of solution .


 Partial pressure of a gas in the vapour phase is proportional to to the mole fraction of the gas(x) in the solution .


                                      P  directly proportional to X
                               
                                     P = KhX

         Kh - Henry's contant

    It depends upon :  Nature of the gas and temperature


  Solubility of a gas is inversely proportional to the temperature

 Higher the value of Kh at given pressure, lower is the solubility of the gas in liquid.

 Solubility of gases increases with decrease of temperature , therefore, aquatic species are comfortable
 in cold waves

                                                    SOLUTIONS ( PART 2)  Solubility = It is the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in specified amount of solvent at certain temperature. It depends upon : Nature of solute and solvent                                    Temperature and pressure Dissolution= It is the amount of solid solute that dissolves in a solvent and the concentration solid solute increases in the solution. Crystallization= The solute particles in the solution collides with solid solute and separates out of solution .                     Saturated Solution                                ...
