Question

if .00327 g of gas dissolves in .376 L of water at 876 torr what quantity of this gas will dissolve 759 torr ?

Answer 1

Answer:- Solubility of the gas at 759 torr is 0.00753 g/L.

Solution:- From given data, 0.00327 g of gas is soluble in 0.376 L of water at 876 torr.

Solubility of gas at 876 torr pressure is = 0.00327g/0.376L = 0.00869 g/L

Solubility of gases is directly proportional to the pressure. It means, grater is the pressure, more is the solubility of gases.

So, 0.00869/876 = X/759

Where, X is the solubility of the gas at 759 torr.

X = 0.00869(759)/876

X = 0.00753 g/L
