Chapter 13, Problem 13.167P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The scene that best describes the system at $298\text{}\text{K}$ is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Solubility is the chemical property of any substance due to which it dissolves in other substances. It is measured in terms of the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in the given amount of solvent. It depends on the intermolecular forces. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher will be the solubility. The dipole-induced dipole is the attractive forces that exist between a polar and a nonpolar molecule.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The scene that best describes the system is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Henry’s law gives the quantitative relationship between the pressure of the gas and its solubility. It states that the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas. Higher the partial pressure of the gas, more will be its solubility and vice-versa.

The formula to calculate the solubility of gases according to Henry’s law is as follows:

$S_{\text{gas}}=k_{\text{H}}\times P_{\text{gas}}$ (1)

Here, $S_{\text{gas}}$ is the solubility of the gas.

$k_{\text{H}}$ is Henry’s constant.

$P_{\text{gas}}$ is the partial pressure of the gas.
