Chemistry

The solubility of CO2 in a salt water lake at 298 K and 750 torrpressure was found to be 1.0 x 10-5 moles CO2/liter of aqueoussolution. The Henry’s Law constant in this case is 3.0 x 10-2mol/L.atm.

A) Please find the partial pressure of CO2 (g) (PCO2, in atm) inthe air above the lake.

B) Please use your answer to determine the percentage of CO2 in theatmosphere.

C) Given the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere is constant at sealevel and below, please calculate the solubility (moles/liter ofaqueous solution) of CO2 in the Dead Sea at 298 K and a pressure of800 torr.
