Chapter 13, Problem 32QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The solubility of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{mol/L}\right)$ if the partial pressure is $\text{1520}\text{mmHg}$ and $\text{20}\text{mmHg}$ has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Henry’s law: The quantitative relationship between gas pressure and solubility: the solubility of a gas $\left({\text{S}}_{\text{gas}}\right)$ is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas $\left({\text{P}}_{\text{gas}}\right)$,

  ${\text{S}}_{\text{gas}}\text{=}{\text{k}}_{\text{H}}\text{×}{\text{P}}_{\text{gas}}$.

Where,

  ${\text{S}}_{\text{gas}}$ is the solubility of gas.

  ${\text{k}}_{\text{H}}$ is Henry’s law constant.

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