\(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}}\) for \(\mathrm{O}_2\) at \(293 \mathrm{~K}\) is \(34.86 \mathrm{~kbar}\). What should be the partial pressure of \(\mathrm{O}_2\) gas so that it has a solubility of \(0.08 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{L}\) in water at \(293 \mathrm{~K}\) ? (Density of solution \(=1 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{ml}\))

A 15680 bar
B 156.8 bar
C 1.569 bar
D 156.8 \(\times\) 10\(^{-5}\) bar

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1.569 bar

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Henry's Law states that \(P = K_{H} \times x\), where \(P\) is the partial pressure of the gas, \(K_{H}\) is Henry's constant, and \(x\) is the mole fraction of the gas in the solution. Given solubility of \(O_{2} = 0.08 \text{ g/L}\). The molar mass of \(O_{2}\) is…

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
