Henry's law constant for \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{Br}\) is \(0.16 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1} \mathrm{bar}^{-1}\) at \(298 \mathrm{~K}\). What pressure is required to have solubility of \(0.08 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1}\) ?

  1. A \(0.24 \mathrm{bar}\)
  2. B \(1.6 \mathrm{bar}\)
  3. C \(0.5 \mathrm{bar}\)
  4. D \(4.0 \mathrm{bar}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.5 \mathrm{bar}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Henry's Law
Solubility of gas \(=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}}\). \(\mathrm{P}_{\text {gas }}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{P}_{\text {gas }}=\text { Solubility } / \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}} \\
& =\frac{0.08}{0.16} \\
& =0.5 \mathrm{bar}
\end{aligned}
