The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use Henry's law, which relates the solubility of a gas in a liquid to the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid. The formula for Henry's law is given by: \[ P = k_H \cdot X \] Where: - \( P \) = partial pressure of the gas (in bar) - \( k_H \) = Henry's law constant (in bar) - \( X \) = mole fraction of the gas in the solution ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Identify the given values.** - Henry's law constant for \( CO_2 \) in water at 298 K: \( k_H = 1.67 \, \text{kbar} = 1670 \, \text{bar} \) - Pressure of \( CO_2 \): \( P = 1 \, \text{bar} \) **Step 2: Rearrange Henry's law to find the mole fraction \( X \).** Using the formula: \[ X = \frac{P}{k_H} \] Substituting the known values: \[ X = \frac{1 \, \text{bar}}{1670 \, \text{bar}} \] \[ X = \frac{1}{1670} \] **Step 3: Calculate the mole fraction \( X \).** \[ X \approx 0.0005988 \] **Step 4: Calculate the mass of water in 1 liter (1000 mL).** Since the density of water is approximately \( 1 \, \text{g/mL} \): \[ \text{Mass of water} = 1000 \, \text{g} \] **Step 5: Calculate the number of moles of water.** Using the molar mass of water (\( H_2O \)) which is \( 18 \, \text{g/mol} \): \[ \text{Moles of water} = \frac{1000 \, \text{g}}{18 \, \text{g/mol}} \approx 55.56 \, \text{mol} \] **Step 6: Use the mole fraction formula to find the moles of \( CO_2 \).** The mole fraction is defined as: \[ X = \frac{n_{CO_2}}{n_{CO_2} + n_{H_2O}} \] Where \( n_{CO_2} \) is the number of moles of \( CO_2 \) and \( n_{H_2O} \) is the number of moles of water. Substituting the values we have: \[ \frac{1}{1670} = \frac{n_{CO_2}}{n_{CO_2} + 55.56} \] **Step 7: Solve for \( n_{CO_2} \).** Cross-multiplying gives: \[ n_{CO_2} = \frac{1}{1670} (n_{CO_2} + 55.56) \] Rearranging: \[ 1670 n_{CO_2} = n_{CO_2} + 55.56 \] \[ 1669 n_{CO_2} = 55.56 \] \[ n_{CO_2} = \frac{55.56}{1669} \approx 0.0333 \, \text{mol} \] **Step 8: Calculate the solubility of \( CO_2 \) in mol/L.** Since we are considering 1 liter of water, the solubility of \( CO_2 \) is: \[ \text{Solubility} = n_{CO_2} \approx 0.0333 \, \text{mol/L} \] ### Final Answer: The solubility of \( CO_2 \) at 298 K when the pressure of \( CO_2 \) is 1 bar is approximately \( 0.0333 \, \text{mol/L} \). ---
