MULTIPHASE SYSTEM (PART 2)

1. Use Henrys law to solve this problem. A gas containing 5.0 mol% ethane (C2H6) is in contact with
water at 20.0C and 15.0 atm. Estimate the mole fraction of the dissolved ethane. Given Henrys law
constant for ethane in water (20.0C) is 2.63104 atm/mole fraction.

2. Use Henrys law to solve this problem. Ethane (C2H6) gas is in contact with water at 20.0C 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 Henrys law constant for ethane in water (20.0C) is 2.63104 atm/mole fraction.
