Question

If a gas displays a solubility of 0.00290M at a partial pressure of 125 kPa, what is the proportionality constant for this gas in this solvent and at this temperature?

Answer 1

The proportionality constant ( Henry’s constant) = 2.32 * 10^-5 M/kPa

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are concerned with calculating the proportionality constant for this gas.

Mathematically, we can get this from Henry law

From Henry law;

Concentration = Henry constant * partial pressure

Thus Henry constant = concentration/partial pressure

Henry constant = 0.00290 M/125 kPa = 2.32 * 10^-5 M/kPa
