Calculate the solubility of gas in solvent at 25^ C and 0.8 atm if Henry's law constant for solvent is 6.8 10⁻⁴ ~mol~ dm ⁻³ ~atm ⁻¹ .
Options
- A5.88 10⁻⁴ M
- B6.12 10⁻⁴ M
- C5.44 10⁻⁴ M
- D6.48 10⁻⁴ M
Correct answer
C. 5.44 10⁻⁴ M
Step-by-step solution
Using Henry's Law, the solubility S of a gas is given by S = K_H P_ gas , where K_H = 6.8 10⁻⁴ , mol , dm ⁻³ , atm ⁻¹ and P_ gas = 0.8 , atm . Substituting yields S = (6.8 10⁻⁴) 0.8 = 5.44 10⁻⁴ , mol , dm ⁻³ . This corresponds to option C .
