Question

Henry's Law strictly fails and is not mathematically applicable when a gas is dissolved in a solvent under which of the following conditions?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Henry's law assumes ideal behavior and intact molecular dispersion. If a gas chemically reacts (like $NH_3$ in water forming $NH_4OH$) or dissociates, the simple $P = K_H \chi$ relationship breaks down entirely.
