Dissolution of solids in water can be exothermic or endothermic process but gases dissolve in water always with the evolution of heat. Dissolution of a substance in water can be either because ion dipole interactions or by hydrogen bond formation. Pressure plays a significant role on the solubility to gases in water. Solubility of a gas in terms of mol fraction (XB) is related to pressure (P) according to the mathematical relation P=KHXB
On the basic of above paragraph answer the following questions.
