Butane, C4H10, has been suggested as the refrigerant in household compressors such as those found in air conditioners. (a) To what extent is butane soluble in water? Calculate the butane concentration in water if the pressure of the gas is 0.21 atm. (kH = 0.0011 mol/kgbar at 25 C) (b) If the pressure of butane is increased to 1.0 atm, does the butane concentration increase or decrease?

The solubility of benzoic acid (HC7H5O2), is 0.34 g/100 mL in water at 25C and is 10.0 g/100 mL in benzene (C6H6) at 25C. Rationalize this solubility behavior. (Hint: Benzoic acid forms a dimer in benzene.) Would benzoic acid be more or less soluble in a 0.1-M NaOH solution than it is in water? Explain.
