Question: A 2 L jar, equipped with a tight - fitting lid that contains a self - sealing lid, is half filled with water such that

A 2 L jar, equipped with a tight-fitting lid that contains a self-sealing lid, is half filled with water
such that the air space has a volume of 1 L, a total pressure of 1 atm, and a temperature of 298 K.
Then, 1.5 mg of trichloroethylene (TCE) is injected through the septum into the water. Some of the
TCE escapes into the gas phase. Consider the situation when a new equilibrium is established.
DATA for trichloroethylene (TCE):
Formula : C 2 HCl3 Solubility: 1,100 mg/L Henrys constant: K H =0.1 M/atm
Calculate:
(a) The equilibrium mass concentration of TCE in water. Please show your number with the unit of
mg/L.(8 pts)
(b) The equilibrium mole fraction of TCE in air. Please show your number with the unit of ppm.(4
pts)
