### Problem: Solubility of a Gas under Different Pressures

If the solubility of a gas is 5.6 \( \frac{g}{L} \) at 505 kPa pressure, what is the solubility of the gas when the pressure is 1010 kPa? Show your work. Use equation editor.

#### Solution:

To solve this problem, we can use Henry's Law, which states that the solubility of a gas is directly proportional to its partial pressure. This can be expressed as:

\[ S_1 P_1 = S_2 P_2 \]

where:
- \( S_1 \) is the initial solubility,
- \( P_1 \) is the initial pressure,
- \( S_2 \) is the final solubility,
- \( P_2 \) is the final pressure.

Given:
- \( S_1 = 5.6 \frac{g}{L} \)
- \( P_1 = 505 \text{ kPa} \)
- \( P_2 = 1010 \text{ kPa} \)

We need to find \( S_2 \).

Rearranging Henry’s Law formula to solve for \( S_2 \):

\[ S_2 = \frac{S_1 P_1}{P_2} \]

Substitute the known values:

\[ S_2 = \frac{5.6 \frac{g}{L} \times 1010 \text{ kPa}}{505 \text{ kPa}} \]

\[ S_2 = \frac{5.6 \times 1010}{505} \]

\[ S_2 = 11.2 \frac{g}{L} \]

Therefore, the solubility of the gas at 1010 kPa pressure is \( 11.2 \frac{g}{L} \).
