Chapter 12, Problem 12.134QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using Henry’s law and ideal gas equation, the statement that the volume of a gases dissolve in a given amount of solvent is independent of the pressure of the gas has to be proved.

Concept introduction:

• Henry’s law or gas law: The law states that quantity of dissolved gas directly proportional to its partial pressure in gas phase.

$\text{n}\propto \text{P}$

$\text{n = kP}$

• Ideal gas law: Volume of a gas occupied by n moles of gas has a pressure at temperature. It can expressed as,

$\text{PV = nRT}$
