Question:

$H_2S$ is a toxic gas used in qualitative analysis. If solubility of $H_2S$ in water at $STP$ is $0.195\, m$, what is the value of $K_H$ ?

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

No. of moles of $H_2S = 0.195$ No. of moles of $H_{2}O = \frac{1000}{18} = 55.55\,mol$ Mole fraction of $H_{2}S =\frac{0.195}{0.195 + 55.55} = 0.0035$ Pressure at $STP = 0.987$ bar According to Henry?? law, $p = K_{H}x$ or $K_{H} = \frac{p_{H_2S}}{x_{H_2S}}= \frac{0.987}{0.0035}$ $= 282\,$bar

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
