Hery's law constant of `CO_(2)` in water at 298 K is `(5)/(3)`K bar. Determine its concentration (x) in rain water if `CO_(2)` is 1% (by mass) in atmosphere `(1" atm"~~1" bar")`

Explanation

To solve the problem, we will use Henry's law, which states that the concentration of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid. The formula for Henry's law is:

\[ P = K_H \cdot x \]

Where:
- \( P \) is the partial pressure of the gas,
- \( K_H \) is Henry's law constant,
- \( x \) is the mole fraction of the gas in the liquid.
