According to Henry's law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid
A)remains the same as the temperature increases.
B)decreases as the gas pressure above the liquid increases.
C)depends on the liquid polarity.
D)increases as the gas pressure above the liquid increases.
E)depends on the liquid density.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Henry's law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid increases as the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid increases. Therefore, choice D is the correct answer. The other choices are incorrect because the solubility of a gas in a liquid can depend on factors such as temperature, polarity, and density, but these are not the primary factors defined by Henry's law.
