Q.

Consider a solution of CO2(g) dissolved in water in a closed container.

Which one of the following plots correctly represents variation of log(partial pressure of CO2 in vapour phase above water) [y-axis] with log(mole fraction of CO2 in water) [x-axis] at 25°C              [2026]

From Henry's law:

P(g)=KH.X(g)

logP(g)=logKH+logX(g)
