Chapter 10, Problem 10.54QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason for high value of Henry’s law constant for ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ than that for ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ at same temperature is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The Henry’s law states that “the amount of gas dissolved in given liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.”

To determine: The reason for high value of Henry’s law constant for ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ than that foe ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ at same temperature.
