Solution

1 Kg of solvent contains =

100018=55.55moles

HencethemolefractionofH2Sgasinsolution=

χH2S=nH2SnH2S+nH2O=0.1950.195+55.5=0.19555.745=0.0035

PressureatS.T.P(becausenormallypressureistakenatStandardcondition)=1atm=0.987bar

HencetheformulaforHenrysconstantis

pH2S=KH×χH2S

HenceKH=0.9870.0035=282bar
