Table. Henry's Law Constants for Several Gases in Water at 25 ?C

Conceptual Connection 14.4 Part A Examine the Henry's law constants in the table below Why is the constant for ammonia bigger than the others? Ammonia molecules are bigger than molecules of other gases on the list. That is why the interaction between NH3 and water molecules is very strong. The shape of an ammonia molecule resembles that of a water molecule, so we would expect its solubility in water to be greater than those of the other gases. Ammonia decomposes when mixed with water Ammonia is the only compound on the list that is polar, so we would expect its solubility in water to be greater than those of the other gases. Table.

Explanation / Answer

NH3 is polar molecule it is soluble in water but other are CO2, He,N2,O2 gases. They are non polar in soluble in water.

Answer : Ammonia is the only compound on the list that is polar, so We would excet its solubility in water to be greater than those of the other gases.
