Solution

The correct option is D 2 bar
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=0.068 mol kg10.034 mol kg1 bar1PCO2=2 bar
