Answer: The solubility of carbon dioxide gas is 0.119 M
Explanation:
To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:
[tex]C_{CO_2}=K_H\times p_{CO_2}[/tex]
where,
[tex]K_H[/tex] = Henry's constant = [tex]3.4\times 10^{-2}mol/L.atm[/tex]
[tex]p_{CO_2}[/tex] = partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas = 3.5 atm
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]C_{CO_2}=3.4\times 10^{-2}mol/L.atm\times 3.5atm\\\\C_{CO_2}=0.119M[/tex]
Hence, the solubility of carbon dioxide gas is 0.119 M
