The presence of the radioactive gas radon (Rn) in well water obtained from aquifers that lie in rock deposits presents a possible health hazard in parts of the United States.
a)Assuming that the solubility of radon in water with 1 atm pressure of the gas over the water at 30 degrees c is 7.27x10^-3 M, what is the Henry's law constant for radon in water at this temperature?
b)A sample consisting of various gases contains 3.7×10-6 mole fraction of radon. This gas at a total pressure of 31atm is shaken with water at 30 degrees c. Calculate the molar concentration of radon in the water.
