Gases dissolved in water are examples of ideal-dilute solutions, where the gas, of course, is the solute. The Henry's law constant for carbon dioxide in water is 3.01x10³ kPa/m, where m is the molality. What is the solubility of carbon dioxide in water if its partial pressure is (a) 0.304 mmHg (in earth's atmosphere)? (b) 2.0 atm (soft drinks)?
