Henry’s Law & Raoult’s Law

1. If N2 gas is bubbled through water at 293 K, how many millimoles of N2 gas would dissolve in 1
litre of water? Assume that N2 exerts a partial pressure of 0.987 bar. Given that Henry’s law
constant for N2 at 293 K is 76.48 kbar.
2. Two liquids X & Y on mixing form an ideal solution. The vapour pressure of the solution
containing three moles of X & 1 mole of Y is 550mm of Hg but when 4 mole of X and one
mole of Y are mixed the vapour pressure of solution thus formed is 560mm of Hg. What
will be the vapour pressure of the pure X & pure Y at this temperature?
3. Heptane and octane form an ideal solution. At 373 K, the vapour pressures of the two liquid
components are 105.2 kPa and 46.8 kPa respectively. What will be the vapour pressure of a
mixture of 50 g of heptane and 57 g of octane?
4. State Henry law and mention some of its important applications.
5. Why Henry law is not applicable for aqueous solution of ammonia and HCl?
6. The partial pressure of ethane over a solution containing 6.5 × 10-3 g of ethane is 1 bar. If the
solution contains 1.3×10-2 g of ethane, then what shall be the partial pressure of the gas?
7. Henry’s constant for oxygen is 4.58×104 atm at 293 K. calculate the amount of oxygen at 0.2 atm.

(C) 0.73 (D) 0.27

9. Two liquids A and B have vapour pressure in the ratio PAo : PBo  2 : 3 at a certain temperature.

is 1:3, then the mole fraction of A in the solution at the same temperature is

(C) (D)
4 4

10. Mixture of volatile components A and B has total vapour pressure (in torr) : P = 250  150 xA
where xA is mole fraction of A in mixture, hence PAo and PBo are (in torr)
(A) 250, 100 (B) 119, 254
(C) 135, 254 (D) 154, 119
