Q1:

With rise in pressure, the solubility of gases in solvent, at a fixed temperature

A increases

B decreases

C remains unchanged

D decreases linearly

ANS:A - increases

With a rise in pressure, the solubility of gases in a solvent at a fixed temperature generally increases. This phenomenon is described by Henry's law, which states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. So, the correct answer is: increases.
