Answer 1

Correct option is (d) To estimate the contribution of individual components by the system

Easiest explanation: The applications of Henry’s Law are 1) Used in soda can packaging. 2) In deep sea scuba diving. 3) In respiratory physiology. Whereas Raoult’s Law is used to estimate the contribution of individual components of a liquid or solid mixture to the total pressure exerted by the system.
