Question 2.6:
H2S, a toxic gas with rotten egg like smell, is used for the qualitative analysis. If the solubility of H2S in water at STP is 0.195 m, calculate Henry’s law constant.
Answer:
It is given that the solubility of H2S in water at STP is 0.195 m, i.e., 0.195 mol of H2S is dissolved in 1000 g of water.
Moles of water _18-11-08)_Utpal_12_Chemistry_2_12_html_5521aad8.gif)
= 55.56 mol
∴Mole fraction of H2S, x_18-11-08)_Utpal_12_Chemistry_2_12_html_m4ff229e0.gif)
_18-11-08)_Utpal_12_Chemistry_2_12_html_4ac01d97.gif)
= 0.0035
At STP, pressure (p) = 0.987 bar
According to Henry’s law:
p = KHx
_18-11-08)_Utpal_12_Chemistry_2_12_html_70f65685.gif)
= 282 bar
Question 2.7:
Henry’s law constant for CO2 in water is 1.67 × 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 298 K.
Answer:
It is given that:
KH = 1.67 × 108 Pa
= 2.5 atm = 2.5 × 1.01325 × 105 Pa
= 2.533125 × 105 Pa
According to Henry’s law:
_18-11-08)_Utpal_12_Chemistry_2_12_html_m1991adad.gif)
= 0.00152
We can write, _18-11-08)_Utpal_12_Chemistry_2_12_html_6081c2db.gif)
[Since,
is negligible as compared to
]
In 500 mL of soda water, the volume of water = 500 mL
[Neglecting the amount of soda present]
We can write:
500 mL of water = 500 g of water
_18-11-08)_Utpal_12_Chemistry_2_12_html_3a1cd9f4.gif)
= 27.78 mol of water
Now,
_18-11-08)_Utpal_12_Chemistry_2_12_html_m4f60632c.gif)
_18-11-08)_Utpal_12_Chemistry_2_12_html_21a24334.gif)
Hence, quantity of CO2 in 500 mL of soda water = (0.042 × 44)g
= 1.848 g
