Answer:
0.189 g.
Explanation:
- This problem is an application on Henry's law.
- Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to its partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.
- Solubility of the gas ∝ partial pressure
- If we have different solubility at different pressures, we can express Henry's law as:
S₁/P₁ = S₂/P₂,
S₁ = 0.0106/0.792 = 0.0134 g/L and P₁ = 0.321 atm
S₂ = ??? g/L and P₂ = 5.73 atm
- So, The solubility of the gas at 5.73 atm (S₂) = S₁.P₂/P₁ = (0.0134 g/L x 5.73 atm) / (0.321 atm) = 0.239 g/L.
The quantity in (g) = S₂ x V = (0.239 g/L)(0.792 L) = 0.189 g.
