Chemistry Question on Solutions
When a gas is bubbled through water at 298K, a very dilute solution of gas is obtained. Henry?? law constant for the gas is 100kbar. If gas exerts a pressure of 1bar, the number of moles of gas dissolved in 1 litre of water is
A
0.555
B
55.55×10−5
C
55.55×10−3
D
5.55×10−5
Answer
55.55×10−5
Explanation
Solution
p=KH×x x=KHp=100×1031 =1×10−5 Mole fraction =Total molesMoles of gas Moles of H2O=181000 =55.55(∵1L=1000g) Mole fraction =x+55.55x(55.55>>>x) ∴10−5=55.55x or x=55.55×10−5
