if the solubility of a gas is 7.5 g/L at 404 pressure, what is the solubility of the gas when the pressure is 202 kPa?

Verified Answer :

henry's law :

S
₁  / P₁ = x / P₂

7.5 / 404 = x / 202

x = 7.5 * 202 / 404

x = 1515 / 404

x = 3.75 g/L

hope this helps!

Hello!

Data:

C1 (initial concentration) = 7.5 g/L

P1 (initial pressure) = 404 kPa

C2 (final concentration) = ? (g/L)

P2 (final pressure) = 202 kPa

We apply the data to the formula of the solubility of gases in a liquid (Henry's Law), let us see:

\(\boxed{ \dfrac{C_1}{P_1} = \dfrac{C_2}{P_2}}\)

Solving:  

\(\dfrac{7.5}{404} = \dfrac{C_2}{202}\)


\(404*C_2 = 7.5*202\)

\(404C_2 = 1515\)

\(C_2 = \dfrac{1515}{404}\)

\(\boxed{\boxed{C_2 = 3,75\:g/L}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark\)
