Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 25 mmol

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Henry's Law states that the partial pressure of a gas is proportional to its mole fraction in the solution: \(P = K_H \times \chi\). Given \(P = 0.835 \text{ bar}\) and \(K_H = 1.67 \times 10^3 \text{ bar}\), the mole fraction \(\chi\) of \(\text{CO}_2\) is calculated as:…
