Chapter 13, Problem 13.86SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The solubility of sulfur hexafluoride in mol/L in water at 25°C needs to be determined, if the partial pressure is 2.00 atm and the Henry’s law constant is $\text{2}\text{.4 }\times {\text{ 10}}^{\text{-4}}\text{mol/L}\text{.atm}$.

Concept introduction:

According to Henry's law, the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas. The proportionality constant is known as Henry's law constant. It is mathematically represented as follows:

${\text{Concentration = K}}_{\text{H}}\text{ × Partial pressure}$

Here, concentration represents the solubility and K_H is the Henry’s constant.
