Answer to Question #123043 in General Chemistry for Jada

Question

At a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 20o C,1.72 g CO2 will dissolve in 1 L of water. How much CO2 will dissolve if the pressure is raised to 1.35 atm and the temperature stays the same?

Answer 1

$$pV = nRT$$

$$pV = {m \over M}RT$$

$$V = {mRT \over pM}$$

$$V = {1.72*0.082*293.15 \over 44*1.35} = 0.696L \approx0.70 L$$
