PCO2 = XCO2 × Ptotal
Given that Ptotal = 0.977 atm
XCO2 = 400 ppm
PCO2 = 400 ppm × ( 1 / 10^6 ppm) × 0.977 atm
PCO2 = 390.8 ×10^-6 atm
PCO2 = 3.91×10^-4 atm
Hence correct option is (E) 3.91×10^-4 atm

Concentration of CO2 in the Atmosphere Levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are rising rapidly, far above any levels ever before recorded. Levels were around 278 parts per million in 1800, before the Industrial Age, and had never, in the hundreds of thousands of years before that, gone above 300 ppm. Levels are now nearing 400 ppm. Table 1 shows the rapid rise of CO2 concentrations over the last 50 years, also available in CarbonDioxide.1 We can use...
(8 pts) Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves in water to establish an equilibrium that can increase the acidity of aqueous solutions in the environment. This equilibrium is CO2 (g) ⇌ CO2 (aq), Kh = 3.1 * 10^2 at 25°C. Kh is called the Henry’s law constant, which relates the solubility of the gas CO2 in the aqueous solution, [CO2], to the partial pressure of CO2 over the solution, p(CO2): [CO2] (M) = Kh * p(CO2) (atm) During the preceding...

1. If, as of March 2017, we had about 407ppm of atmosphere CO2
and we continue to increase the amount of CO2 at the rate of about
2ppm. How many years will it take to reach 450ppm?

(8 pts) Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves in water to establish an equilibrium that can increase the acidity of aqueous solutions in the environment. This equilibrium is CO2(g) = CO2 (aq), Kn= 3.1 x 10-2 at 25°C. Kh is called the Henry's law constant, which relates the solubility of the gas CO2 in the aqueous solution, [CO2), to the partial pressure of CO2 over the solution, p(CO2): [CO2] (M)= Kn · p(CO2) (atm) During the preceding decades, the atmospheric...

6.) The solubility of CO2 (g) in water is 3.2 x 102 M at 25.0 °C and 1.0 atm pressure. a.) What is the Henry's Law constant for CO2 (g)? Cg = k P, ; Cg = concentration in M; k = Henry's Law constant in mol L atm*'; P. = pressure in atm. 3.2 x 10-2 M=k (1.0 atm) (3.2 x 10-2 M)/(1.0 atm) = k = 3.2 x 10-2 M/atm = 3.2 x 10-2 mol L atm" b.)...
The concentration of dissolved CO2 gas in seawater is 5.00 x 10^–3 mol L–1 . The Henry’s law constant for CO2 at 298 K is 3.13 x 10^–7 mol L–1 Pa–1 . Calculate the partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere above the ocean. (A) 16.0 kPa (B) 6.30 x 10–5 Pa (C) 1.57 x 10–9 Pa (D) 6.30 x 108 kPa
