Question

In an experiment a gas mixture containing 50% oxygen and 50% carbon dioxide is allowed to equilibrate with a volume of pure water at sea level. Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide at equilibrium? (THIS QUESTION HAS MORE THAN ONE CORRECT ANSWER BELOW. YOU MUST SELECT ALL OF THE CORRECT ANSWERS TO RECEIVE CREDIT.) In the gas mixture: concentration oxygen = concentration carbon dioxide In the water: concentration oxygen = concentration carbon dioxide In the water: concentration oxygen is less than concentration carbon dioxide In the gas mixture: concentration oxygen is greater than concentration carbon dioxide

Explanation / Answer

Answer: options A and B both are correct

This is because the gas mixture has both o2 and co2 in equal concentrations

Also the water is pure, and when allowed to equilibrate with o2 and co2 , will have equal concentrations of both the gases.
