This table implies that :
  1. A

  2. B
    The pressure of a 55.5 molal solution of δ\deltaδ is 250 bar

Correct answer: A, B

  1. Use Henry’s law

    For gases dissolved in water, p=KHxp = K_H xp=KH​x where ppp is the partial pressure of the gas, KHK_HKH​ is Henry’s constant, and xxx is mole fraction of dissolved gas.

    Hence, at a given pressure, x=pKHx = \frac{p}{K_H}x=KH​p​ So, smaller KHK_HKH​ means higher solubility.

  2. Given values

    KH(α)=50 kbarK_H(\alpha)=50\ \text{kbar}KH​(α)=50 kbar KH(β)=2 kbarK_H(\beta)=2\ \text{kbar}KH​(β)=2 kbar KH(γ)=2×10−5 kbarK_H(\gamma)=2\times 10^{-5}\ \text{kbar}KH​(γ)=2×10−5 kbar KH(δ)=0.5 kbarK_H(\delta)=0.5\ \text{kbar}KH​(δ)=0.5 kbar

  3. Check option C

    Since solubility is inversely proportional to KHK_HKH​, the gas with the smallest Henry’s constant has the highest solubility.

    Among the given values, 2×10−5<0.5<2<502\times 10^{-5} < 0.5 < 2 < 502×10−5<0.5<2<50 so γ\gammaγ has the highest solubility, not α\alphaα.

    Therefore, Option C is false.

  4. Check option A

    Dissolution of gases in water generally decreases with increase in temperature, so Henry’s constant increases with temperature and solubility decreases.

    Therefore, for γ\gammaγ, solubility at 308 K308\,\text{K}308K is lower than at 298 K298\,\text{K}298K.

    So, Option A is true.

  5. Check options B and D using 55.5 molal solution

    A 55.555.555.5 molal solution means:

    • 55.555.555.5 mol gas per 1 kg1\,\text{kg}1kg water.

    Number of moles of water in 1 kg1\,\text{kg}1kg: nwater=100018=55.55‾≈55.5n_{\text{water}}=\frac{1000}{18}=55.5\overline{5}\approx 55.5nwater​=181000​=55.55≈55.5

    Thus, moles of solute gas ≈55.5\approx 55.5≈55.5 and moles of water ≈55.5\approx 55.5≈55.5.

    So mole fraction of gas is approximately x=55.555.5+55.5=12x = \frac{55.5}{55.5+55.5}=\frac12x=55.5+55.555.5​=21​

    More accurately, with 55.555.555.5 mol water approximation used in such problems, x≈0.5x \approx 0.5x≈0.5

  6. Option B: gas δ\deltaδ

    p=KHx=(0.5 kbar)(0.5)=0.25 kbarp = K_H x = (0.5\,\text{kbar})(0.5)=0.25\,\text{kbar}p=KH​x=(0.5kbar)(0.5)=0.25kbar

    Since 1 kbar=1000 bar1\,\text{kbar}=1000\,\text{bar}1kbar=1000bar we get 0.25 kbar=250 bar0.25\,\text{kbar}=250\,\text{bar}0.25kbar=250bar

    Therefore, Option B is true.

  7. Option D: gas γ\gammaγ

    p=KHx=(2×10−5 kbar)(0.5)=1×10−5 kbarp = K_H x = (2\times 10^{-5}\,\text{kbar})(0.5)=1\times 10^{-5}\,\text{kbar}p=KH​x=(2×10−5kbar)(0.5)=1×10−5kbar

    Convert to bar: 1×10−5 kbar=10−5×1000 bar=10−2 bar=0.01 bar1\times 10^{-5}\,\text{kbar}=10^{-5}\times 1000\,\text{bar}=10^{-2}\,\text{bar}=0.01\,\text{bar}1×10−5kbar=10−5×1000bar=10−2bar=0.01bar

    This is not 1 bar1\,\text{bar}1bar.

    Therefore, Option D is false.

  8. Final result

    Correct options are: A, B\boxed{A,\ B}A, B​

  9. Comparison with stored answer

    Stored correct answer: A,BA, BA,B

    This matches exactly.
