Exercise 13.3 Name:

Henry’s Law Date: Per:

Henry's law states that at a constant temperature, the For a given sample of gas the solubility changes with the
solubility of a gas in a liquid solvent increases in direct pressure according to the formula:
proportion to its partial pressure above the solution. Each
solute-solvent pair has a specific proportionality factor that S1 S2
defines the relationship. =
Sg = kPg P1 P2
Sg = solubility of gas in solution phase (usually, molarity) S1 is the solubility of gas at pressure P1
Pg = partial pressure of gas over solution S2 is the solubility of gas at pressure P2
k = Henry’s law constant (temperature dependent)
DIRECTIONS: Answer the following in the space provided:
1. State Henry's Law in your own words.

2. A gas has a solubility of 0.086 g/L at a pressure of 3.5 atm. At what pressure would its solubility be 2.3 g/L?

3. The solubility of a gas changes from 0.95 g/L to 0.72 g/L. If the initial pressure was 2.8 atm, what is the final pressure?

4. The solubility of a gas in water is 0.220 g/L at 20.0 kPa of pressure. What is the solubility when the pressure is increased
to 115 kPa?

5. The solubility of a gas in water is 0.66 g/L at 15 kPa of pressure. What is the solubility when the pressure is increased to
40.0 kPa?

6. The solubility of a gas is 2.0 g/L at 50.0 kPa of pressure. How much gas will dissolve in 1.0 L at a pressure of 10.0 kPa?

7. The solubility of a gas is 4.50 g/L at a pressure of 1.00 atm. At what pressure will there be 45.0 g of a gas in 1.00 L of a
solution?

8. The partial pressure of CO2 inside a bottle of soft drink is 4.0 atm at 25 oC. The solubility of CO2 is 0.12 mol/L. When the
bottle is opened, the partial pressure drops to 3.0 x 10 -4 atm. What is the solubility of CO2 in the open drink? Express your
answer in grams per liter.

9. If 0.24 g of a gas dissolves in 1.0 L of water at 1.5 atm of pressure, how much of the gas will dissolve if the pressure is
raised to 6.0 atm? Assume the temperature is held constant.

10. If 0.55g of a gas dissolves in 1L of water at 20kpa of pressure, how much will dissolve at 110kpa of pressure?

11. A gas has a solubility of 0.660 g/L at 10.0 atm pressure. What is the pressure on a 1.00 L sample that contains 1.50 g of
gas?

12. The solubility of a gas is 2.0 g/L at 50. kpa of pressure. How much gas will dissolve in 1.0 L at a pressure of 10. kpa?

13. How many grams of carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in a 1.00 L bottle of carbonated water if the manufacturer uses a
pressure of 2.40 atm in the bottling process at 25°C? (kCO2 in water = 29.76 atm/M at 25°C)
