Answer:
The mass in grams of N₂O gas that can be dissolved is 0.18 g
Step-by-step explanation:
The solubility of a gas is proportional to the partial pressure of that gas, over a determined solvent. That's what Henry's law states. We see the formula:
S = K . Pp
Where S is solubility and K is Henry's constant. This specific for each gas and each temperature, while Pp means partial pressure.
We replace data:
S = 0.025 M/atm . 0.69atm
S = 0.01725 M
This is the solubility of the gas, so now, we need to know what mass of gas is solubilized. We convert the moles, with the volume of water.
0.01725 mol/L . 0.235 L = 4.05×10⁻³ moles
Now, we determine the mass in grams: 4.05×10⁻³ mol . 28 g / 1mol =
0.1782 g
