What solubility of hydrogen and nitrogen is in liquid ammonia? Does any formula exist for calculation a solubility of hydrogen and nitrogen in liquid ammonia or do you know specific constants or numbers for this question? Thank you for your answers.
As far as I know there is no general formula for solubility of solutes in solvents. I think you must find the solubility in tables or by experimentation.
Thank you dr Bob.
The solubility of hydrogen and nitrogen in liquid ammonia can be determined using Henry's law, which relates the partial pressure of a gas above a liquid to its concentration in the liquid. The law states that the concentration of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid.
The formula for calculating the solubility of a gas (in this case, hydrogen or nitrogen) in liquid ammonia is:
C = k * P
Where:
C is the concentration of the gas in the liquid ammonia (in mol/L),
k is Henry's law constant for the specific gas and solvent combination (in L/mol/atm),
P is the partial pressure of the gas (in atm).
To determine the solubility, you need to know the Henry's law constant (k) for hydrogen and nitrogen in liquid ammonia. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the specific values for these constants.
The values of Henry's law constants are usually experimentally determined and can depend on various factors such as temperature and pressure. They can be found in scientific literature or databases specific to the gas-solvent combination you are interested in.
I recommend referring to academic research papers, books, or chemical databases that specialize in gas solubility for more specific values of Henry's law constants for hydrogen and nitrogen in liquid ammonia.
It's important to mention that the solubility of gases, particularly at higher pressures, can be affected by factors such as temperature, presence of impurities, and the presence of other solutes. So, the actual solubility values may vary depending on the specific conditions and experimental setup.
