Concentration of CO2 at 25∘C in a can is equal to 0.068 molal. Thus, pressure of CO2 gas in the can is:
(KH=0.034mol/kg.bar)

Solution
The correct option is D2bar Henry Law : The solubility of a gas in a liquid at a given temperature is directly proportional to its partial pressure of the gas present above the solution.
Solubility of gas can be expressed in mole fraction based on the unit of KH. S=KHPCO2
Where,
S is solubility of gas KH is Henry's constant PCO2 is partial pressure of the gas ∴PCO2=SolubilityKH=0.068molkg−10.034molkg−1bar−1PCO2=2bar
