Henry’s law constant for CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 in water is 1.67 × 108^{8} Pa at 298 K. Calculate the quantity of CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 in 500 mL of soda water when packed under 2.5 atm CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 pressure at 298 K.
Solution:  
Given, KH=1.67×108Pa,K_H = 1.67 \times 10^{8} \, \text{Pa},
PCO2=2.5atm=2.5×101325PaP_{\mathrm{CO}_2} = 2.5 \, \text{atm} = 2.5 \times 101325 \, \text{Pa}
Applying Henry's law, PCO2=KH×xCO2P_{\mathrm{CO}_2} = K_H \times x_{\mathrm{CO}_2}
    xCO2=PCO2KH\therefore \;\; x_{\mathrm{CO}_2} = \frac{P_{\mathrm{CO}_2}}{K_H}
=2.5×101325Pa1.67×108Pa= \frac{2.5 \times 101325 \, \text{Pa}}{1.67 \times 10^{8} \, \text{Pa}}
=1.517×103= 1.517 \times 10^{-3}
i.e., xCO2=nCO2nH2O+nCO2x_{\mathrm{CO}_2} = \frac{n_{\mathrm{CO}_2}}{n_{\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}} + n_{\mathrm{CO}_2}}
=nCO2nH2O=1.517×103= \frac{n_{\mathrm{CO}_2}}{n_{\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}}} = 1.517 \times 10^{-3}
                                [nCO2\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; [n_{\mathrm{CO}_2} is negligible w.r.t. nH2O ]n_{\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}} \ ]
For 500 mL of soda water,
Volume of water = 500 mL; mass of water = 500 g,
moles of water =50018=27.78= \frac{500}{18} = 27.78 i.e., nH2O=27.78n_{\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}} = 27.78
  nCO227.78=1.517×103\therefore \; \frac{n_{\mathrm{CO}_2}}{27.78} = 1.517 \times 10^{-3}
or nCO2=42.14×103mole,n_{\mathrm{CO}_2} = 42.14 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{mole},
Mass of CO2=42.14×103×44g\mathrm{CO}_2 = 42.14 \times 10^{-3} \times 44 \, \text{g}
=1.854g= 1.854 \, \text{g}
