The aqueous solubility of CO2 at 20 ℃ and 1.00 atm is equivalent to 87.8 mLCO2(g), measured at STP, per 100 mL of water.

Part A

What is the molarity of CO2 in water that is at 20 ℃ and saturated with air at 1.00 atm? The volume percent of CO2 in air is 0.0360%. Assume that the volume of the water does not change when it becomes saturated with air. Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Expert Solution

Ans. It seems that there has been some type error in the question if you want a desired answer of “1.41 x 10-5 M”.

Its assumed that the first line of question says “The aqueous solubility of CO2 at 20.00C and 1.00 atm is equivalent to 87.8 mL AIR, measured at STP, per 100.0 mL of water”.

If CO2 solubility were actually 87.8 mL / 100 mL water (which is too high), there was no need of using the term “equivalent”.

# So, we have,

            Solubility of air at STP (1.00 atm, 0.00C) = 87.8 mL

            Temperature at STP = 0.00C = 273.15 K

Specified temperature, T = 20.00C = 293.15 K

Calculate the volume of 87.8 mL air at 20.00C using Charles’s Law as follow-

            V1 / T1(STP) = V2 / T2(20.00C)

            Or, 87.8 mL / 273.15 K = V2 / 293.15 K

            Or, V2 = (87.8 mL / 273.15 K) x 293.15 K = 94.229 mL

Therefore, volume of air at 20.00C = 94.229 mL

# Calculate volume of CO2 in air-

            Volume of CO2 in air = 0.0360 % of 94.229 mL

                                                = (0.0360 / 100) x 94.229 mL

                                                = 0.0339224 mL

                                                = 0.0000339224 L

# Calculate number of moles of CO2

Ideal gas equation: PV = nRT      - equation 1

            Where, P = pressure in atm

            V = volume in L                   

            n = number of moles

            R = universal gas constant= 0.0821 atm L mol-1K-1

            T = absolute temperature (in K) = (0C + 273.15) K

Putting the values in above equation-     

            1.0 atm x 0.0000339224 L = n x (0.0821 atm L mol-1K-1) x 293.15 K

            Or, n = 1.4095 x 10-6 mol

Hence, moles of CO2 dissolved in 100.0 mL water = 1.4095 x 10-6 mol

# Calculate Molarity-

            Molarity of CO2 = Moles of CO2 / Volume of solution in liters

                                    = (1.4095 x 10-6 mol) / 0.100 L                               ; [100 mL = 0.100 L]

                                    = 1.4095 x 10-5 mol/ L                                             ; [1 mol/ L = 1 M]

                                    = 1.4095 x 10-5 M   =   1.41 x 10-5 M
