How many grams of CO2 gas is dissolved in a 1 litre bottle of carbonated water if the manufacturer uses a pressure of 2.4 atmosphere in the bottling process at 25oC?( given KH of CO2 water =9.6atm/mol/l at 25oC)
Henry’s Law states that, P=KHS
P is the pressure in atm
KH is the Henry’s law constant,
S is the solubility in moles per litre
Putting all the values in equation;
2.4=9.6×S
S=0.25 mol/lit
Mass of CO2 dissolved =0.25×44=11g
Hence option C is correct.
