At 25.0°C the Henry's Law constant for methane CH4 gas in water is ×1.410−3/Matm. Calculate the mass in grams of CH4 gas that can be dissolved in 75.mL of water at 25.0°C and a CH4 partial pressure of 0.68atm. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

1.1 × 10⁻³ g

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Henry's Law constant for methane (k): 1.4 × 10⁻³ M/atm

Volume of water (=volume of solution): 75 mL

Partial pressure of methane (P): 0.68 atm

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of methane in water (C)

We will use Henry's law.

Step 3: Calculate the moles of methane in 75 mL of water

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 7.1 × 10⁻⁵ mol of methane

The molar mass of methane is 16.04 g/mol.
