How many millimoles of nitrogen dissolve when nitrogen is passed in $1 \ L$ water at $293 \ K$ temperature? $[$ The value of $K_H$ is $7.648 \times 10^4 \ bar$ and partial pressure of $N_2$ gas is $0.987 \ bar.]$

According to Henry's Law,$P = K_H \times x$,where $x$ is the mole fraction of the gas in the solution.
$x = P / K_H = 0.987 \ bar / (7.648 \times 10^4 \ bar) = 1.29 \times 10^{-5}$.
Since $1 \ L$ of water contains $1000 \ g$ of water,the number of moles of water is $n_{H_2O} = 1000 \ g / 18 \ g/mol = 55.55 \ mol$.
For dilute solutions,$x = n_{N_2} / n_{H_2O}$,so $n_{N_2} = x \times n_{H_2O} = 1.29 \times 10^{-5} \times 55.55 \ mol = 7.16 \times 10^{-4} \ mol$.
Converting to millimoles: $7.16 \times 10^{-4} \ mol \times 1000 \ mmol/mol = 0.716 \ mmol \approx 0.72 \ mmol$.

If $CO_2$ gas having a partial pressure of $1.67 \ bar$ is bubbled through $1 \ L$ water at $298 \ K$,the amount of $CO_2$ dissolved in water in $g \ L^{-1}$ is approximately. (Henry's law constant of $CO_2$ is $1.67 \ kbar$ at $298 \ K$)

What is the significance of Henry's Law constant $K_H$?

Calculate the pressure of the gas if the solubility of the gas in water at $25^{\circ} C$ is $6.85 \times 10^{-4} \ mol \ dm^{-3}$. (Henry's law constant $K_H$ is $6.85 \times 10^{-4} \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ bar^{-1}$) (in $bar$)
