Chapter 13.2, Problem 1PPC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the following diagram which is (are) represents a closed system when the piston is moved downward, decreasing the volume of the gas over the water has to be determined.

Note: Thermometer indicating the temperature of the system.

Concept introduction:

Henry’s law: Henry’s law states that dissolved gases in liquid are directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas over the solution. The equation is given by

$\text{c = kP}$

Where,

c is molar concentration of dissolved gas $\text{(mol/L)}$

k is proportionality constant

P is partial pressure of the gas over the solution $\text{(mol/L}\text{.atom)}$
