Chapter 13.4, Problem 13.3BFP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The solubility of the given laughing gas in water 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.
