Use Henry’s law to determine the proportionality constant (k) of a gas with a solubility of 1.380x10-3 mol/l and partial pressure of 20.7kPa
Added by Karina T.
Step 1
The relationship can be expressed as: \[ C = k \cdot P \] where: - \( C \) is the concentration of the gas (in mol/L), - \( k \) is the Henry's law constant (in mol/(L·kPa)), - \( P \) is the partial pressure of the gas (in kPa). Show more…

The Henry's Law constant for CO2 in water at 37 °C is 3.30 x 10-4 mol L-1 kPa-1. At what partial pressure (in kPa) would the gas have a solubility in water of 0.0233 mol L-1? (1 mark) s = KH x p

If a gas has a proportionality constant of 5.18 x 10^-3 at room temperature for a particular solvent, what will the solubility of the gas be in that solvent when it exerts a partial pressure of 85.5 kPa? Your answer should have three significant figures.

Henry's law states that the quantity of an ideal gas that dissolves in a definite volume of liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas, which is mathematically represented as: Cg = k * Pg Where Cg is solubility, Pg is partial pressure, and k is a proportionality constant that depends on the identities of the gaseous solute and solvent, and on the solution temperature. a) At 20 °C, the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water exposed to gaseous oxygen at a partial pressure of 101.3 kPa (760 torr) is 1.38 × 10^(-3) mol L^(-1). Use Henry's law to determine the solubility of oxygen when its partial pressure is 20.7 kPa (155 torr), the approximate pressure of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere. b) Exposing a 100.0 mL sample of water at 0 °C to an atmosphere containing a gaseous solute at 20.26 kPa (152 torr) resulted in the dissolution of 1.45 × 10^(-3) g of the solute. Use Henry's law to determine the solubility of this gaseous solute when its pressure is 101.3 kPa (760 torr).
