A.2.79×10-5 M
B.3.67×10-8 M
C.9.26×10-2 M
D.0.622 M
E.6.72 M
Correct answer is : (A.) 2.79 x 10-5 M
Explanation
Given : Total pressure = 2.72 atm
mole fraction of CO2 = 3.01 x 10-4
Solution :
Partial pressure of CO2 in air = (Total pressure) * (mole fraction of CO2 in air)
Partial pressure of CO2 in air = (2.72 atm) * (3.01 x 10-4)
Partial pressure of CO2 in air = 8.19 x 10-4 atm
Partial pressure of CO2 in air = 8.19 x 10-4 atm * (760 mmHg / 1 atm)
Partial pressure of CO2 in air = 0.622 mmHg
According to Henry's law,
Solubility of gas = (KH) * (partial pressure of gas)
where KH is the Henry's law constant
Concentration of CO2 in water = (KH CO2) * (Partial pressure of CO2 in air)
Concentration of CO2 in water = (4.48 x 10-5 M/mmHg) * (0.622 mmHg)
Concentration of CO2 in water = 2.79 x 10-5 M

(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...

5.37 Water at 300 K overflows the inside of a vertical open pipe of diameter 1 m and forms a smooth film of thickness 0.05 cm. Pure carbon dioxide, at a pressure of 1 atm, flows slowly through the inside of the pipe. If the pipe is 2.5 m long, and the water enters free of carbon dioxide, at what rate (mol/h) can carbon dioxide be removed from the system in the exiting water stream? The Henry's law constant for...
