Under which of the following conditions would you expect the highest solubility of oxygen gas in water?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Henry's Law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. Therefore, a high pressure above the solution will lead to a higher solubility of oxygen gas in water. Additionally, temperature has an inverse relationship with solubility; as temperature decreases, solubility increases. Therefore, choice B (low temperature and high pressure above the solution) would result in the highest solubility of oxygen gas in water.
