H2S, a toxic gas with rotten egg like smell, is used for the qualitative analysis. If the solubility of H2S in water at STP is 0.195 m, calculate Henry’s law constant.


H2S, a toxic gas with rotten egg like smell, is used for the qualitative analysis. If the solubility of H2S in water at STP is 0.195 m, calculate Henry’s law constant.
Solution
given that
Molality =0.195 m,
Let take mass of solvent (water) = 1 kg 
Use above formula we get
Moles of solute = 0.195 mol
Molar mass of water (H2O ) = 2 × 1 + 16 = 18 

Mass of water (mass of solvent 1 kg = 1000 g
Number of moles of water = 1000 g / 18 = 55.56 mol
 
Use above formula we get

Mole fraction of H2S = 0.195/(0.195 + 55.56) = 0.0035
At STP, pressure (p) = 0.987 bar always
According to Henry’s law:
p = KH × X
KH  =  p / X   = 0.987 / 0.0035 = 282 bar

    p = KH.X p=partial pressure of the solute in vapor state above solution . 1bar = Ph20 + Ph2s . so the value of kh cant be right

    How do we know that 0.195 is molality?

      in question it says 0.195m. m stands for molal, ie., molality

      In question i.e 0.195 m is given where 'm' denotes the unit of molality.

      m stands for molality😅🤗😊🤗😇

      m is represented as molality and M is a symbol of milarity.

      Small m is denoted molality when capital MI's denoted molarity

      M stands for Molarity
      And m stands for molality

    Bcoz it is written as 0.195m
    Here m might not be representing metre.
    Its a good question.

    Pressure must be taken as 1.013 bar and the exact answer is 289.4 bar as per ncert text book..
    Last step is 1.013/0.0035 and the answer is 289.4

      are you sure? 0.987 is written at many places and really confused

      Yes I think it's 1.01325 bar but in each n every book it is taken 0.987 bar

    Why should we take 1kg of solvent?It is not mentioned in the question.

    Molality is moles per kg so over here its 0.195 moles per 1 kg of solvent.

    Thanks a lot well 1atm is equal to 1 bar or not

    Here all of these taken that 1 ATM means 0.987 bar but it is given in NCERT that 1 ATM means 1.013 bar why all these guys taken like this I don't understand

    Since the solubility is given and pressure is also...so why cant we take s=kp

    At s.t.p pressure is 1 atm which is 1.013 bar and not .987 bar please check your answer
