Chapter 11, Problem 94AE

In Exercise 96 in Chapter 8, the pressure of CO₂ in a bottle of sparkling wine was calculated assuming that the CO₂ was insoluble in water. This was a bad assumption. Redo this problem by assuming that CO₂ obeys Henry’ s law. Use the data given in that problem to calculate the partial pressure of CO₂ in the gas phase and the solubility of CO₂ in the wine at 25°C. The Henry’s law constant for CO₂ is 3.1 × w⁻² mol/L · atm at 25°C with Henry’s law in the form C = kP, where C is the concentration of the gas in mol/L.
