At a particular temperature, the solubility of Kr in water is 0.060 M when the partial pressure is 0.90 atm. What partial pressure (in atm) of Kr would give a solubility of 0.150 M

Respuesta :

At a particular temperature, the solubility of He in water is 0.060 M when the partial pressure is 0.90 atm. 2.27 atm is the partial pressure of Kr would give a solubility of 0.150 M.

What is Henry's Law ?

  • According to Henry's law, the weight of a gas dissolved by a liquid is proportional to the pressure of the gas onto the liquid.
  • With very few exceptions, a solute molecule in an extremely diluted solution will only have solvent molecules as its close neighbors. This means that the likelihood that a specific solute molecule will escape into the gas phase is predicted to be independent of the total concentration of solute molecules.

Solution:

The solubility of gas is directly proportional to partial pressure. It is expressed as:

S = [tex]K_ h \times P _g_a_s[/tex]

where, S = Solubility of gas

[tex]K_h[/tex] = Henry's Law constant

[tex]P_g_a_s[/tex] = Partial pressure of gas

Now, put the values in above expression we get

0.060M = [tex]K_h[/tex] × 0.9 atm

   [tex]K_h[/tex] =  = 0.066 M/atm

Now we have to find the partial pressure of He

0.150 M = 0.066 M/atm × [tex]P_g_a_s[/tex]

[tex]P_g_a_s[/tex] = 2.27 atm
