Question

O2 is bubbled through water at 293K. How many moles of O2 will dissolve in 1L of water, if partial pressure of 02 is 2 kilobar and Kh is 34.86 kilobar?

Solution

pO2=KH*χO2

Thus
χO2=pO2/KH=0.098/(34.84*103) =2.81*10^-5

No. of moles of H2O in 1L =55.55
χO2 = nO2​/(nO2 + nH2O​) = nO2/​(nO2 +55.55​)
APPROXIMATELY
χO2 =​nO2​/55.55

nO2 =2.81*10^-5*55.55 =1.56*10^-3 mol

Thus solubility of O2 is = ​1.56*10^-3 *32 g/L = 0.05 g/L
