Detailed Solution

Strategy:\n> According to Henry's Law p=KHxp = K_H \cdot x, a plot of partial pressure (pp) vs mole fraction (xx) is a straight line with slope KHK_H. Compare the values of KHK_H to determine the relative steepness of the lines for different gases.\n\nStep 1: Sort by slope (KHK_H)\n- w=0.5w = 0.5 (Lowest slope, most shallow)\n- x=2x = 2\n- y=35y = 35\n- z=40z = 40 (Highest slope, steepest line)\n\nStep 2: Select the correct graph\nGraph (1) correctly shows the slopes increasing in the sequence w < x < y < z. Note that for a given pressure, ww will be the most soluble (highest xx) while zz is the least.\n\ntextAnswer:(1)\boxed{\\text{Answer: (1)}}
