The solubility of the gas if the pressure is changed to 100 kPa is 0.742 g/L
<h3>Effect of Pressure on Solubility </h3>
As the <em>pressure </em>of a gas increases, the <em>solubility </em>increases, and as the <em>pressure </em>of a gas decreases, the <em>solubility </em>decreases.
Thus, Solubility varies directly with Pressure
If S represents Solubility and P represents Pressure,
Then we can write that
S ∝ P
Introducing proportionality constant, k
S = kP
S/P = k
∴ We can write that
![\frac{S_{1} }{P_{1} } = \frac{S_{2} }{P_{2} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7BS_%7B1%7D%20%7D%7BP_%7B1%7D%20%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7BS_%7B2%7D%20%7D%7BP_%7B2%7D%20%7D)

From the given information
![S_{1} = 0.890 \ g/L](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S_%7B1%7D%20%3D%200.890%20%5C%20g%2FL)
![P_{1} = 120 \ kPa](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P_%7B1%7D%20%3D%20120%20%5C%20kPa)
![P_{2} = 100 \ kPa](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P_%7B2%7D%20%3D%20100%20%5C%20kPa)
Putting the parameters into the formula, we get
![\frac{0.890}{120}=\frac{S_{2}}{100}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B0.890%7D%7B120%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7BS_%7B2%7D%7D%7B100%7D)
![S_{2}= \frac{0.890 \times 100}{120}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S_%7B2%7D%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B0.890%20%5Ctimes%20100%7D%7B120%7D)
![S_{2}= 0.742 \ g/L](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S_%7B2%7D%3D%200.742%20%5C%20g%2FL)
Hence, the solubility of the gas if the pressure is changed to 100 kPa is 0.742 g/L
