Henry's law constant for CO2 in water is 1.6 x 108 Pa at 298 K. Calculate the quantity of CO2 in 500 mL of soda water when packed under 2.5 atm CO2 pressure at 298K.

Factors affecting Henry’s law Constant

The following variables influence a gas's Henry's law constant value:

• The gas's composition
• What kind of solvent it is
• Temperature & pressure

Limitations of Henry’s Law

• Only when the system's molecules are in an equilibrium state is this law applicable.
• When gases are put under very high pressure, Henry's law does not apply.
• When the gas and the solution engage in chemical reactions with one another, the law is not applicable.

Summary:

Henry's law constant for CO2 in water is 1.6 x 108 Pa at 298 K. Calculate the quantity of CO2 in 500 mL of soda water when packed under 2.5 atm CO2 pressure at 298K.

Henry's law constant for CO2 in water is 1.6 x 108 Pa at 298 K. The quantity of CO2 in 500 mL of soda water when packed under 2.5 atm CO2 pressure at 298K is 1.848 g.
