JEE Main 2026 — Solutions Question with Solution
JEE Main 2026 (22 January Shift 1)
Question
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The Henry's law constant is constant with respect to variations in solution's concentration over the range for which the solution is ideally dilute.
Statement II: does not differ for the same solute in different solvents.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Correct answer
CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
Step-by-step explanation
Statement I: is constant with respect to concentration variations in ideally dilute solutions.
TRUE - Henry's law constant depends only on temperature and the nature of the solute-solvent interaction. For ideally dilute solutions, = remains constant regardless of solute concentration within the dilute range.
Statement II: does not differ for the same solute in different solvents.
FALSE - Henry's law constant is solvent-dependent. The same gas or solute has different values in different solvents at the same temperature because the solute-solvent interactions differ. For example, CO₂ dissolves differently in water versus ethanol, giving different values.
Therefore, Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
