Question

To increase the solubility of a gas at constant temperature from 1.20 g/L, at 1.4 atm, to 2.3 g/L, the pressure would have to be increased to ____.

Answer 1

The pressure would have to be increased to 2.7atm because the gas solubility is directly proportional to the pressure (in atmospheres) so 2.3g/L/1.2g/L= 1.92 and 1.92 x 1.4 is 2.7 atmospheres.
