Chapter 6.1, Problem 6.6Q

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equilibrium solubility of $C{O}_2$ in the unopened soda at ${25}^{o}C$ in the unit of $mol/L$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The solubility of gas in liquid can be explained using Henry’s law.  According to Henry’s law, the molar concentration of gas that dissolved in liquid at a particular temperature is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas over the solution at equilibrium.

The mathematical expression for Henry’s law is given below.

    $M=kP$

Where, $M$ is the molar concentration of gas that dissolved in liquid, $k$ Henry’s law constant and $P$ is the partial pressure.
