D) dissolution in water

A gas is dissolved in water at bar pressure. Its mole fraction in the solution is Find the mole fraction of water in the solution when the pressure of the gas is doubled at the same temperature.

Henrys law constant for in water is Calculate the approximate quantity of in of soda water when packed under at

The solubility of in water at and partial pressure is The solubility (in ) at partial pressure is:

, a toxic gas with a rotten egg-like smell is used for the qualitative analysis. If the solubility of in water at is , Calculate Henry's law constant. (Write the answer without units)

The values of the Henry's law constant of and in water at are and , respectively. The order of their solubility in water at the same temperature and pressure is

What is the concentration of dissolved oxygen at under pressure of one atmosphere if partial pressure of oxygen at is .
