Chapter 12, Problem 21E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of nitrogen dissolved at room temperature in an $80.0\text{L}$ home aquarium is to be calculated.

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.” The concentration of gas in liquid is calculated by the formula,

  $C=K_{\text{H}}\times P$

To determine: The mass of nitrogen dissolved at room temperature in an $80.0\text{L}$ home aquarium.
