    Which of the following factor(s) affect the solubility of a gaseous solute in the fixed volume of liquid solvent? (i) Nature of solute         (ii) Temperature (iii)Pressure (a) (i) and (iii) at constant T             (b) (i) and (ii) at constant p (c) (ii) and (iii)                          (d) Only (iii)

Answer:

                    (a, b) Solubility of gaseous solute in the fixed volume of liquid solvent always depends upon nature of solute but it depends upon pressure at constant temperature and depends upon temperature at constant pressure. Hence, (a) and (b) both are correct.
