A 0.21 m3 drum contains 100L of a mixture ofseveral degreasing solvents in water. The concentraton oftrichloroethylen in the headspace (gas phase) above the water wasmeasured to be 0.00301 atm. The Henry's constant fortrichloroethylene is 0.00985atm. m3. mol-1 at25o. What is the concentration of tricholoroethylene inthe water in units of molarity? (assume that the temperature ofthe solution is 25o)

    The concentration is 6.42*10^-4 M

    Explanation:

    Number of moles trichloroethylene = pressure * volume/Henry's constant = 0.00301*0.21/0.00985 = 0.0642 mol

    Volume of mixture = 100 L

    Concentration of trichloroethylene = number of moles of trichloroethylene/volume of solution = 0.0642/100 = 6.42*10^-4 M
