0.00370 M
B
0.00148 M
C
0.000370 M
D
0.000148 M
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the given values: Henry's law constant (k_H) is 0.000370 M/atm and the partial pressure of helium (P_He) is 0.400 atm.
Recall Henry's Law, which states that the concentration of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. The formula is: C = k_H * P, where C is the concentration of the gas.
Substitute the given values into the Henry's Law equation: C = 0.000370 M/atm * 0.400 atm.
Perform the multiplication to find the concentration of helium in the water. Ensure that the units of atm cancel out, leaving the concentration in M (molarity).
Verify the units and the calculation to ensure the concentration is expressed in molarity (M), which is the standard unit for concentration in chemistry.
