Question

Henry's law constant for CO2 in water is
1.67×108 Pa at 298 K. Calculate the quantity of CO2 in 500mL of soda water when packed under 2.5 atm CO2 pressure at 298 K.

Solution

Given:
Henry's constant for CO2 in water,
KH=1.67×108 Pa at 298 K
pCO2=2.5! atm=2.5×101325 Pa


According to Henry's Law,
pCO2=KH+χCO2

By putting the values, we get,

2.5×101325=1.67×108×χCO2

χCO2=2.5×1013251.67×108=1.517×103

Moles of CO2
Molar mass of water H2O
=1×2+16×1
=18gmol1
Mass of 500mL of water
=500g (density of water)=1gcm3
Therefore, number of moles of water (H2O) in 500mL of water,
=50018=27.78mol

Now, since nCO2 is very small, we can write

χCO2=nCO2nH2O+nCO2nCO2nH2O

By putting the values, we get,

nCO2=1.517×103×27.78
nCO2=42.14×103mol

Mass of CO2
Molar mass of CO2
=12+2×16
44gmol1
Therefore, mass of CO2 present
=molar mass of CO2×nCO2
=44×42.14×103
=1.854g

Final Answer:
The quantity of CO2 in 500mL of soda water is 1.854 g.
