Question

At 10°c one volume of water dissolves 3.10 volumes of chlorine gas at 1.00 atm pressure. what is the henry's law constant of cl2 in water? (r = 0.0821 atm • l • mol–1• k–1 )

Answer 1

Answer is:  0,133 mol/ l· atm.
T(chlorine) = 10°C = 283K.
p(chlorine) = 1 atm.
V(chlorine) = 3,10 l.
R - gas constant, R = 0.0821 atm·l/mol·K. 
Ideal gas law: p·V = n·R·T
n(chlorine) = p·V ÷ R·T.
n(chlorine) = 1atm · 3,10l ÷ 0,0821 atm·l/mol·K · 283K = 0,133mol.
Henry's law: c = p·k.
k - Henry's law constant.
c - solubility of a gas at a fixed temperature in a particular solvent.
c = 0,133 mol/l.
k = 0,133 mol/l ÷ 1 atm = 0,133 mol/ l· atm.
