Interpretation:
The amount of dissolved
- 2.23 g/L
- 1.27 g/L
- 0.785 g/L
- 0.431 g/L
Concept introduction:
According to Henry’s Law, the solubility of a gas is directly related with the pressure of a gas implies with increase in pressure, the solubility of a gas also increases.
Answer to Problem 7STP
The amount of dissolved
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Initial pressure = 1.00 atm
Temperature =
Mass of
Volume of water = 1 L
Final Pressure = 1.35 atm
It is given that at 1.00 atm, 1.72 g of carbon dioxide is dissolved in one liter of water. As the pressure increases to 1.35 atm, the amount of carbon dioxide also increases.
Now,
(A)Since, the solubility of a gas increases with increase in pressure. Also, concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide must be greater than the initial concentration as the pressure increases.
2.23 g/L>1.72 g/L, thus, amount of dissolved carbon dioxide is 2.23 g/L.
Hence, option (A) is correct.
Other given options are not possible as values are less than the original or initial concentration.
