The partial pressure of co2 gas above the liquid in a carbonated drink is 0.51 atm. assuming that the henry's law constant for co2 in the drink is that same as that in water, 3.7 x 10-2 mol/l atm, calculate the solubility of carbon dioxide in this drink. give your answer to 3 decimal places.

0.019 mol/L

Explanation:

Given data

According to Henry's law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure.

C = k × P

C = (3.7 × 10⁻² mol/L . atm) × 0.51 atm

C = 0.019 mol/L

the correct answer is a

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
