    The solubility of nitrogen in water is 8.21 x 10 - 4 mol/L at 0°C when the N2 pressure above water is 0.790 atm. Calculate the Henry's law constant for N2 in units of mol/L • atm for Henry's law in the form C = kP, where C is the gas concentration in mol/L. Calculate the solubility of N2 in water when the partial pressure of nitrogen above water is 1.10 atm at 0°C.

    The answer to the question is

    1.143 * 10⁻³ mol/L

    Explanation:

    Henry's law states that the concentration of a gas in a solution is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the same gas existing above the solution at constant temperature

    or c ∝ P which gives c = k * P

    where c = concentration

    k = constant of proportionality

    P = Partial pressure of the same gas above the solution

    The solubility of nitrogen = 8.21*10⁻⁴ M/L

    The pressure above water = 0.790 atm

    Therefore from C = kP

    8.21*10⁻⁴ M/L = k*0.790 atm

    k = 1.03924*10⁻³mol / (L·atm)

    Hence when partial pressure = 1.10 atm we have

    C = k*P = 1.03924*10⁻³mol / (L·atm) * 1.10 atm = 1.143*10⁻³ mol/L
