Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of Henry's Law: Henry's Law relates to the solubility of gases in liquids, stating that the amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. It does not directly address the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases.

Recognize the correct law: The statement given in the problem is actually describing Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, which states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas in the mixture.

Differentiate between Henry's Law and Dalton's Law: Henry's Law is used to calculate the concentration of a gas in a liquid, while Dalton's Law is used to calculate the total pressure of a gas mixture.

Apply the correct law to the problem: Since the statement describes Dalton's Law, the correct answer to the problem is 'False' when considering Henry's Law.

Review the definitions: Ensure you understand the definitions and applications of both Henry's Law and Dalton's Law to avoid confusion in future problems.
