Chapter 17, Problem 40E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The partial pressure of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ in the gas phase and the solubility of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ in the wine at $25°\text{C}$ 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.
