The formula that governs the concentration of gas dissolved

The formula that governs the concentration of gas dissolved in a solvent based on its pressure is given by Henry's Law: C = KP Where: C = solubility of a gas at a fixed temperature (in mol/L, M) k = Henry's Law constant (in units of mol/L atm) P = partial pressure of the gas (in units of atm) How many grams of carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in a 250-mL can of cola if the manufacturer uses a pressure of 2.9 atm in the bottling process at 25°C ? Assume that the k of CO₂ in water = 0.034 mol/L atm) at 25°C. Report your answer to two significant figures.
