Answer:
8.44 * 10^-3 %
Explanation:
The solubility of CO2 gas in water is 0.15g/100 ml at a CO2 pressure of 760 mmHg.
Determine the percentage of the CO2 that dissolved originally in the solution that remains
Amount remaining ( Sg = kpg )
Sg = solubility of gas = 0.15 / 100 g/ml
pg. = partial pressure of gas = 760 mmHg = 1 atm
therefore ; K = 1.5 * 10^-3 gm^-1 atm^-1
solubility of gas inside container
Sg = 0.675 * 10^-2 g/ml
solubility of gas during/after dissolution ( amount that remains )
sg = 1.5 * 10^-3 * 0.00038
= 5.7 * 10^-7 g/ml
therefore the percentage remaining
= (5.7 * 10^-7 / 0.675 * 10^-2 ) * 100
= 8.44 * 10^-3 %
