Chapter 11, Problem 11.21QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The Henry’s law constant for the solubility of air in water the sum of $k_{\text{H}}$ for ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$ and $k_{\text{H}}$ for ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The relation between pressure and solubility of a gas is given by the formula,

$C=k_{\text{H}}\times P_{\text{gas}}$

To determine: The Henry’s law constant for the solubility of air in water the sum of $k_{\text{H}}$ for ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$ and $k_{\text{H}}$ for ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$.
