Which feature characterizes a gas in solution?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amount of a gas in solution depends on both its partial pressure in the gas phase (which affects the concentration of the gas molecules in contact with the liquid) and its solubility in the liquid phase. Therefore, the best choice is E. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not explain the dual dependence on both partial pressure and solubility. Choice C is incorrect because it suggests that only the partial pressure in the liquid phase is important, when in fact the gas's partial pressure in the gas phase also plays a role.
