Question

If a maximum of 5.60g of a gas at 2.50 atm pressure dissolves in 3.5-l of water, what will the solubility be if the pressure changes to 5.00atm?

Please show steps

Answer 1

The solubility is most likely 2.8 grams.

Explanation:

So this law is Boyles's law which states that if pressure goes up, volume goes down or if pressure does down, volume goes up.

So since pressure increases from 2.50 atm to 5.00 atm, volume must of decrease as Boyles's Law said.

So let plug numbers into the formula:

5.60 grams`*` `"2.50 atm"/"5.00 atm"`

So doing this on a calculator, you get 2.8 grams.
