Answer: The molar concentration of oxygen gas in water is 1.43\times 10^{-7} mol/L.

Explanation:

Partial pressure of the O_2gas = 685 torr = 0.8905 bar

1 torr = 0.0013 bar

According Henry's law:

p_{o_2}=K_H\times\chi_{O_2}

Value of Henry's constant of oxygen gas at 20 °C in water = 34860 bar

0.0013=34860 bar\times \chi_{O_2}

\chi_{O_2}=\frac{0.8905 bar}{34680 bar}=2.56\times 10^{-5}

Let the number of moles of O_2 gas in 1 liter water be n.

1 Liter water = 1000 g of water

Moles of water in 1 L n_w=\frac{1000 g}{18 g/mol}=55.55 mol

\chi_{O_2}=\frac{n}{n+n_w}

2.56\times 10^{-5}=\frac{n}{n+55.55}

n=1.43\times 10^{-7} moles

Molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of}O_2}{Volume}

Molar concentration of oxygen gas in 1 L of water:

=\frac{1.43\times 10^{-7} moles}{1 L}=1.43\times 10^{-7} mol/L

The molar concentration of oxygen gas in water is 1.43\times 10^{-7} mol/L.

What is a valence electron and why are they so important to a chemist?
Reika [66]
They are important because they are the electrons that help the atom to bond with another atom. They are in the outer most shell. ☺️
