If the Henry's Law constant for oxygen in water at 25°C is 0.0031 mol/L·atm, what would be the mole fraction of oxygen in the water if the partial pressure is 0.21 atm?
💡 Hint: Make sure to apply the formula carefully.
A solution has a Henry's Law constant of 0.0344 mol/(L·atm) at 20°C. If the partial pressure is increased from 0.5 atm to 2.0 atm, calculate how much the mole fraction of the gas will change.
💡 Hint: Analyze the change based on the proportions given in Henry's Law.
