Q.

Air contains O2 and N2 in the ratio 0.2 : 0.8. If Henry law constant for O2 and N2 are 3.3 × 107 torr and 6.6 × 107 torr respectively, then the ratio of mole fractions of O2 to N2 dissolved in water at 1 bar pressure is

Detailed Solution

mole ratio of  O2 : N2 in air =0.2 : 0.8 = 1:4

We know

                 large begin{array}{l} {P_A} = {P_{total}}{X_A}\ {P_A} propto {X_A}\ Thus,,,{P_{{O_2}}}:{P_{{N_2}}} = 1:4 end{array}

Given   

           large K_{O_2}:K_{N_2}=(3.3times 10^7):(6.6times 10^7)=1:2

According to Henry's law

                                     large P_A=K_HX_A

where    XA = molefraction of gas dissolved in liquid

             large frac{P_{O_2}}{P_{N_2}}=frac{K_{O_2}times X_{O_2}}{K_{N_2}times X_{N_2}}

          large frac{1}{4}=frac{1}{2}times frac{X_{O_2}}{X_{N_2}}

            large frac{X_{O_2}}{X_{N_2}}=frac{1}{2}

large {X_{O_2}}:{X_{N_2}}={1}:{2}

Thus ratio of molefraction of O2 to N2 dissolved in water is  1:2
