Question

At 25°C, some water is added to a sample of gaseous
methane (CH4) at 1.00 atm pressure in a closed vessel, and
the vessel is shaken until as much methane as possible dissolves. Then 1.00 kg of the solution is removed and boiled
to expel the methane, yielding a volume of 3.01 L of
CH4(g) at 0°C and 1.00 atm. Determine the Henry’s law
constant for methane in water.
