At a particular temperature, the solubility of He in water is 0.080 M when the partial pressure is 1.7 atm. 4.25 atm is the partial pressure of He would give a solubility of 0.200 M.
<h3>What is Henry's Law ?</h3>
Henry's Law is a gas law states that at a constant temperature the amount of gas that dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas.
<h3>What is relationship between Henry's Law constant and Solubility ?</h3>
The solubility of gas is directly proportional to partial pressure.
It is expressed as:
where,
= Solubility of gas
= Henry's Law constant
= Partial pressure of gas
Now put the values in above expression we get
0.080M = × 1.7 atm
= 0.047 M/atm
Now we have to find the partial pressure of He
0.200 M = 0.047 M/atm ×
= 4.25 atm
Thus from the above conclusion we can say that At a particular temperature, the solubility of He in water is 0.080 M when the partial pressure is 1.7 atm. 4.25 atm is the partial pressure of He would give a solubility of 0.200 M.
The number of significant figures needed in the answer is 2.
This is because when finding the products of two numbers, the result is as accurate as the least number of significant figures of the numbers being multiplied.
The purpose of the uninoculated control tubes used in this test is that two uninoculated control tubes are needed to show the results of the medium in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. It is used to show it is sterile and also as a color comparison, used also to show that the medium remains green under both conditions.
