Question:

When a gas is bubbled through water at $298 \,K$, a very dilute solution of gas is obtained. Henry?? law constant for the gas is $100\, kbar$. If gas exerts a pressure of $1\, bar$, the number of moles of gas dissolved in $1$ litre of water is

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$p = K_{H} \times x$ $x = \frac{p}{K_{H}} = \frac{1}{100 \times 10^{3}}$ $= 1 \times 10^{-5}$ Mole fraction $= \frac{\text{Moles of gas}}{\text{Total moles}}$ Moles of $H_{2}O = \frac{1000}{18} $ $= 55.55 \left(\because 1 \,L = 1000\,g\right)$ Mole fraction $= \frac{x}{x+55.55}\,\left(55.55 > > > x\right)$ $\therefore 10^{-5} = \frac{x}{55.55}$ or $x = 55.55 \times 10^{-5}$

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.
