Solubility: Overview

In this topic, we will learn about the solubility of liquids. The term refers to the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent. We will also study the saturation level of substances here in detail.

The air is a mixture of a number of gases. The major components are oxygen and nitrogen with approximate proportion of 20% is to 79% by volume 298 K. The water is in equilibrium with air at a pressure of 10 atm. At 298 K, if the Henry’s law constants for oxygen and nitrogen at 298 K are 3.30×107 mm and 6.51 × 107 mm respectively, calculate the composition of these gases in water.
