The correct option is C

NH3


The explanation for correct option

(C) NH3

Solubility of gases in liquid

  • Temperature and pressure, as well as the type of the solute and the solvent, have an impact on gas solubility in liquids.
  • Many gases dissolve readily in water, whereas others do not dissolve in water under typical circumstances.
  • Due to the action of various forces of attraction between molecules, the chemical structure of a solute or solvent will influence the solubility of a gas in water.

Ammonia gas

  • Ammonia is a colorless gas with a chemical formulaNH3.
  • Due to hydrogen bonding with water, it is most soluble in water and is polar as well.

The explanation for incorrect options

  • Ammonia gas is most soluble in water.
  • Hence all other options (A), (B), and (D) are incorrect.

Therefore, the correct option is (C) NH3.
