Calculate Henry's law constant if solubility of gas in water at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $5.14 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{dm}^{-3}$ and partial pressure of the gas is 0.75 bar above solution.
  1. $6.85 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{dm}^{-3} \mathrm{bar}^{-1}$
  2. $5.14 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{moldm}^{-3} \mathrm{bar}^{-1}$
  3. $1.028 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{dm}^{-3} \mathrm{bar}^{-1}$
  4. $1.371 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{dm}^{-3} \mathrm{bar}^{-1}$

Solution

According to Henry's law, $\mathrm{S}=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}} \mathrm{P}$ $\begin{aligned} \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}} & =\frac{\mathrm{S}}{\mathrm{P}}=\frac{5.14 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{dm}^{-3}}{0.75 \mathrm{bar}} \\ & =6.85 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{dm}^{-3} \mathrm{bar}^{-1} \end{aligned}$
