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 |
