Solution
Given: KH = 1.67 × 108 Pa
`P_(CO_2)` = 2.5 atm = 2.53 × 105 Pa
According to Henry’s law,
`P_(CO_2) = K_H xx x_(CO_2)`
∴ `x_(CO_2) = P_(CO_2)/K_H`
= `(2.53 xx 10^5 Pa)/(1.67 xx 10^8 Pa)`
= 1.515 × 10−3
We can write, `x_(CO_2) = (n_(CO_2))/(n_(CO_2) + n_(H_2O)) = (n_(CO_2))/(n_(H_2O))`
= 1.515 × 10−3 ...[Since, `n_(CO_2)` is negligible as compared to `n_(H_2O)`.]
For 500 mL of soda water, the volume of water = 500 mL; the mass of water = 500 g,
We can write:
= `500/18 "mol of water"`
= 27.78 mol of water
i.e., `n_(H_2O)` = 27.78
∴ `(n_(CO_2))/n_(H_2O) = x_(CO_2)`
`(n_(CO_2))/(27.78) = 1.515 xx 10^(−3)`
= 1.515 × 10−3 × 27.78
`n_(CO_2)` = 42.08 × 10−3 mol
= 0.04214 mol
∴ Mass of CO2 = `n_(CO_2) xx "Molar mass"`
= 0.04214 × 44 g
= 1.854 g
