Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be "1.76 g/L".
Explanation:
The given values are:
P₁ = 15 kPa
Solubility of water, C₁ = 0.66 g/L
P₂ = 40.0 kPa
C₂ = ?
Now,
According to Henry's Law,
⇒ [tex]\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}=\frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]C_{2}=\frac{C_{1}\times P_{2}}{P_{1}}[/tex]
On putting the estimated values, we get
⇒ [tex]=\frac{0.66\times 40}{15}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=\frac{26.4}{15}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=1.76 \ g/L[/tex]
