Question

At 25 °C and 795 Torr, carbon dioxide has a solubility of 0.0356 in water. What is its solubility at 25 °C and 1590 Torr

Answer 1

C₂ = 0.0712

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Pressure 1 = 795 torr

Solubility = 0.0356

Pressure 2 = 1590 torr

Solubility = ?

Solution;

Pressure and solubility are both directly proportional to each other.

P₁/C₁ = P₂/C₂

795 /0.0356 = 1590 / C₂

C₂ = 1590 × 0.0356 / 795

C₂ = 56.604 /795

C₂ = 0.0712
