Henry's law constant for $\displaystyle \mathrm{CO}_{2}$ in water is $\displaystyle 1.67 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~Pa}$ at $\displaystyle 298$ K. Calculate the number of moles of $\displaystyle \mathrm{CO}_{2}$ in $\displaystyle 540$ g of soda water when packed under $\displaystyle 3.34 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa}$ at the same temperature.
Marking-scheme solution
$$x_{\mathrm{CO_2}} = \frac{P_{\mathrm{CO_2}}}{K_{\mathrm{H}}}$$$$= \frac{3.34 \times 10^{5}}{1.67 \times 10^{8}}$$$$= 2 \times 10^{-3}$$$$2 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{n_{\mathrm{CO_2}}}{n_{\mathrm{CO_2}} + n_{\mathrm{H_2O}}}$$For a dilute solution,$$2 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{n_{\mathrm{CO_2}}}{n_{\mathrm{H_2O}}}$$$$n_{\mathrm{CO_2}} = \frac{540}{18} \times 2 \times 10^{-3}$$$$= 6 \times 10^{-2}\ \text{mol.}$$
