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?
henry's law :
S₁ / 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:
\(\dfrac{7.5}{404} = \dfrac{C_2}{202}\)
\(404*C_2 = 7.5*202\)
\(404C_2 = 1515\)
\(C_2 = \dfrac{1515}{404}\)
\(\boxed{\boxed{C_2 = 3,75\:g/L}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark\)
