Question

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.
