Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The solubility of a gas is to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Solubility: Solubility can be expressed as the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a known amount of solvent at a given temperature and pressure.
Henry’s Law: The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid at a certain temperature.
Answer to Problem 90A
The solubility of gas when the pressure is reduced by 3.5 atm is 2.1 g/liter.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The expression of Henry’s Law is
The solubility of a gas is S1at P1pressure and S2at pressure P2.
As the pressure is reduced by 3.5 atm,
So, the solubility of the gas at 1 atm pressure is 2.1 g/liter.
