A gas dissolves in a solvent with a Henry’s law constant of 250 bar at 25°C. If the mole fraction of the gas doubles whe

Initial: p = 250 · x . New: 10 = KH' · 2x . Assume initial p = 5 bar , then x = (5/250) = 0.02 . New x = 0.04 , 10 = KH' × 0.04 , KH' = 250 bar . Recalculate: KH' = (10/0.04) = 250 bar (consistent).

A solution is prepared with 46 g of ethanol (molar mass = 46 g/mol) and 54 g of water. If the mole fraction of ethanol b

Initial moles of ethanol = (46/46) = 1 . Moles of water = (54/18) = 3 . Let additional moles of ethanol = x . New mole fraction = (1 + x/1 + x + 3) = 0.4 . 1 + x = 0.4 (4 + x) , 1 + x = 1.6 + 0.4x , 0.6x = 0.6 , x = 1 . Mass added = 1 × 46 = 46 g .
