1. Use Henry’s law to solve this problem. A gas containing 5.0 mol% ethane (C2H6) is in contact with
water at 20.0°C and 15.0 atm. Estimate the mole fraction of the dissolved ethane. Given Henry’s law
constant for ethane in water (20.0°C) is 2.63×104 atm/mole fraction.
Therefore xC2H6 =

2. Use Henry’s law to solve this problem. Ethane (C2H6) gas is in contact with water at 20.0°C and 17.5
bar. Estimate the mole fraction of the ethane gas if given 0.02 mol% of the gas were dissolved in the
water. Given Henry’s law constant for ethane in water (20.0°C) is 2.63×104 atm/mole fraction.
