Question

If 124.4 mL of water is shaken with oxygen gas at 0.81atm, it will dissolve 0.0036 g O2. Estimate the Henry's law constant for the oxygen gas in water in units of g mL ^-1atm^-1.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given : Mass of O2 dissolved = 0.0036 g

Volume of water used = 124.4 mL

And pressure of oxygen gas = 0.81 atm

Since volume of solution = volume of water approx.                                 (because volume of oxygen gas will be negligible)

Hence the concentration of O2 dissolved is given by,

=> Concentration of O2 gas dissolved, S = Mass of O2 dissolvedVolume of solution  = 0.0036124.4 = 2.894 X 10-5 g/mL
