1.The Henry's law constant for the solubility of N2gas in water at 298k is 10^5 atm.The mole fraction of N2 is 0.8.Find the number of N2 from air dissolved in 10 moles of water at 298K and 5 atm pressure
2.How many moles in 1litre of water
Open in App
Solution
P(n2) = Kh * X(n2)
rearrange the formula
X(n2) = P(n2) / Kh
= 0.8 x 5 atm / 1 x 10^5 atm = 4 x 10^-5
now 1 mol of water has 4 x 10^-5 moles of N2 dissolved from air so 10 moles of water has 10 x 4 x 10^-5 = 4 x 10^-4 moles of N2 dossolved from air
