According to Henry's Law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid at a particular temperature is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid. The law can be mathematically expressed as:
S=kH​⋅PWhere:
S is the solubility of the gas (in
mol dm−3 ).
kH​ is Henry's law constant (in
mol dm−3 bar−1 ).
P is the partial pressure of the gas (in bar).
To find Henry's law constant for the given conditions, we need to rearrange the equation to solve for
kH​ :
kH​=PS​Given that the solubility
S=0.028 mol dm−3 and the partial pressure
P=0.346 bar, we can plug these values into the equation:
kH​=0.346 bar0.028 mol dm−3​To calculate
