Chapter 17, Problem 39E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The Henry’s law constant for ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$ in units of L atm/mol and the solubility of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$ in water at 1.10 atm needs to be determined.

Concept introduction: According to Henry’s law, at constant temperature, the solubility of a gas in liquid is directly proportional to its partial pressure.

  $P=k\times C$  ......(1)

Here, k is Henry’s law constant, C is concentration of gas in liquid and P is the partial pressure of the gas.
