Perfluorocarbons (PFCs), hydrocarbons with all H atoms replaced by F atoms, have very weak cohesive forces. One interesting consequence of this property is that a live mouse can breathe while submerged in O₂ -saturated PFCs(c) Rank the kH values in descending order for O₂ in water, ethanol, C₆F₁₄, and C₆H₁₄. Explain your ranking.

Respuesta :

The order of [tex]k_{H}[/tex] (Henry's Law constant) for O₂ in the molecule is C₆H₁₄ > C₆H₁₄ > ethanol > water.

What is Henry Law constant ?

The gas law that states that if the constant is in terms of solubility or pressure.

It is expressed as

[tex]S_{\text{gas}} = k_{H} \times P_{\text{gas}}[/tex]           ...(i)

where,

[tex]S_{\text{gas}}[/tex] = Solubility of gas

[tex]k_{H}[/tex] = Henry's Law constant

[tex]P_{\text{gas}}[/tex] = Partial Pressure of gas

What is Intermolecular force ?

Intermolecular force is also called secondary force is the force of attraction between molecules. It acts between ions and atoms.

Water has very strong intermolecular force due to of hydrogen bonding. O₂ gas is least soluble in water.

What is Hydrogen Bonding ?

Hydrogen bond is the attractive forces which binds the hydrogen atom of 1 molecule with electronegative atom of other molecule.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The order of [tex]k_{H}[/tex] (Henry's Law constant) for O₂ in the molecule is C₆H₁₄ > C₆H₁₄ > ethanol > water.
