💨2 Effect of Pressure on Solubility of Gases in Liquids
Absolutely, Mayank! Here's a simplified, impactful, and CBSE Class 12 board exam–oriented explanation of the Effect of Pressure on Solubility of Gases in Liquids, perfectly structured for classroom presentation or revision slides:
💨 Effect of Pressure on Solubility of Gases in Liquids
📚 CBSE Class 12 | Easy | Exam-Focused
✅ Key Idea:
The solubility of a gas in a liquid increases with an increase in pressure.
🧪 Why Does This Happen? (Simple Explanation)
-
Gases are compressible.
-
When pressure increases, more gas particles are forced into the liquid.
-
This increases the rate of gas molecules entering the solution.
-
Eventually, a new dynamic equilibrium is reached — with more gas dissolved.
⚖️ Dynamic Equilibrium:
📌 At high pressure: More gas moves into the liquid
📌 At low pressure: More gas escapes out of the liquid
🧠 Henry’s Law (Very Important for Boards)
At constant temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.
🧮 Henry’s Law Formula:
Where:
-
p = partial pressure of gas
-
x = mole fraction of gas in solution
-
KH = Henry’s constant (depends on gas & temperature)
📌 Important Points to Remember:
| Condition | Effect on Solubility |
|---|---|
| ↑ Pressure | ↑ Solubility |
| ↑ Temperature | ↓ Solubility |
| ↑ KH value | ↓ Solubility |
🔍 Why KH Matters?
-
Each gas has a different KH value.
-
Higher KH means the gas is less soluble.
-
Example from data:
-
CO₂ has low KH → dissolves easily (used in soda)
-
He has high KH → very low solubility
-
📘 Applications of Henry’s Law (CBSE Must-Know)
| Application | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Soda/Soft Drinks | CO₂ is dissolved under high pressure |
| Scuba Diving | High pressure dissolves N₂ in blood; sudden pressure drop → nitrogen bubbles → bends |
| High Altitudes | Low O₂ pressure → less oxygen dissolves in blood → anoxia (weakness, dizziness) |
📝 CBSE Exam Tips:
✅ Define Henry’s Law clearly
✅ Write the formula p = K_H × x
✅ Give 2 real-life examples
✅ Mention pressure increases solubility
