Calculating grams of CO2 in water, please help
« on: January 02, 2017, 03:10:41 PM »
A sodastream container contains water and CO2. The CO2 is at an constant pressure of 2 atm. The molar mass of CO2 is 44 g mol^1-.
Kb at 5 degrees celcius is 15 atm mol^-1 kg. Kb at 30 degrees celcius is 30 atm mol^-1 kg.
1) Calculate for each temperature (5 degrees C and 20 degrees C) how many grams of CO2 is dissolved in 1 liter of water (assume that the density is the same as plain water)
2) A student now drinks 0,33 L of the soda that has been made at 5 degrees celcius. In the mouth and stomach, the soda is now heated to a temperature of 37 degrees celcius at P=1 atm. Assuming that CO2 is an ideal gas, how big a volume of CO2 (in L) has been developed when all the bubbles of CO2 has left soda?

I have no clue how to do this. I tried to calculate the molar fraction of CO2 under both temperatures, but that gives me no number i can use. I don't know the total number of moles in the solution, and therefore I can not calculate the number of moles of CO2 even knowing the fraction of CO2.

THX!!!

You should show your attempt.

What is Kb? How is it defined? How is it related to the problem?
