A sealed 2-Liter container contains 1.2 L of water and 0.8 L of air. The temperature is 25°C. One hundred ug of a pollutant are added to the container. The container is then incubated until equilibrium is achieved between all two phases. KH is 10.7 L-atm/mol at 25°C. Assuming that no chemical or biological degradation occurs during incubation, what is the aqueous-phase concentration of the pollutant at equilibrium (mg/L)? R=0.08205 L-atm/mole-K.

Question

A sealed 2-Liter container contains 1.2 L of water and 0.8 L of air. The temperature is 25°C. One

hundred ug of a pollutant are added to the container. The container is then incubated until equilibrium is achieved between all two phases. KH is 10.7 L-atm/mol at 25°C. Assuming that no chemical or biological degradation occurs during incubation, what is the aqueous-phase concentration of the pollutant at equilibrium (mg/L)? R=0.08205 L-atm/mole-K.
