Chapter 12, Problem 12.11P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

“What is the Henry’s law constant for ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ in $\text{mol / (L atm) }$ ” should be identified.

Concept introduction:

The solubility of gases is decrease with increasing temperature and increasing with increasing pressure.

Given:

The solubility of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ in water is $\text{3}{\text{.2×10}}^{\text{-2}}\text{ M}$

Pressure is $\text{1 atm}$
