According to Henry's Law, the concentration (in mol/L) of a gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. The proportionality constant is known as Henry's Law constant (kH).
In this problem, we are given that at 10°F, one volume of water dissolves 3.10 volumes of chlorine gas (Cl2) at 1.00 atm pressure. Therefore, we can write:
kH = (concentration of Cl2 in water) / (partial pressure of Cl2 above water) = (3.10 V / 1 V) / (1 atm) = 3.10 mol/L·atm
The answer is the closest to 3.10 is B) 0.13.
