I got this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

This key question is from Aeration and Agitation in division Aeration and Agitation of Fermentation Technology

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) Henry’s law

The explanation is: Pressure affects the mass transfer by increasing the solubility of the gases. This is given by Henry’s law. It states that the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas in that liquid.
