CBSEENCH12005601

H2S, a toxic gas with rotten egg like smell, is used for the qualitative analysis. If the solubility of H2S in water at S.T.P. is 0.195 m, calculate Henry's law constant.

Solution

It is given that the solubility of H2S in water at STP is 0.195m, i.e., 0.195 mol of H2S is dissolved in1000 g of water.
     
           =1000g18g mol-1moles of water =55.56 mol=moles of H2S moles of H2S+ moles of water =0.1950.195+55.56 = 0.0035

At STP pressure (P) = 0.987bar
According to henry's law p = kx

KH = px = 0.9870.0035bar = 282 bar
