Solve the following :Henry’s law constant for the solubility of methane in benzene is 4.27 × 10-5 mm Hg mol dm-3 at constant temperature. Calculate the solubility of methane at 760 mm Hg pressure at same temperature.

Answer»

Given :

Henry’s law constant = K 

= 4.27 × 10-5 mm Hg mol dm-3 

Pressure of the gas = P = 760 mm Hg

KH = 4.27 × 10-5 mm-1 mol dm-3

= 4.27 × 10-5 × 760 atm-1 mol dm-3

= 3245 × 10-5 atm-1 mol dm-3

P = 760 mm = \(\frac{760}{760}\) = 1 atm

By Henry’s law,

S = KH x P = 3.245 x 10-2atm-1 mol dm-3 x 1 atm

= 3.245 × 10-2 mol dm-3

∴ Solubility of methane = 3.245 × 10-2 mol dm-3
