Question: A solution is created by dissolving oxygen in water at 2 0 deg C . If the concentration of oxygen in the water is

A solution is created by dissolving oxygen in water at 20\deg C. If the concentration of oxygen in the water is 1.0 x 10-3 m, what is the partial pressure (atm) of the oxygen gas above the solution? Henry's law constant for oxygen at 20\deg C is 1.43 x 10-3m/atm. Enter your answer with no units.
Selected Answer:
0.00001716
Response Feedback:
Henry's law shows the relationship between the maximum concentration of dissolved gas (solubility), and the partial pressure of the gas above a solution.
In the equation, C is the solubility of the gas, P is the partial pressure of the gas above the solution, and k is Henry's law constant, which is specific to the gas at a particular temperature.
C space equals space k P
