Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If a closed container has 500 L of CO2 in it and a plant is placed inside, what will happen to the amount of CO2 in the container?
A
It will increase
B
It will decrease
C
It will stay the same
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon dioxide has a vapor pressure of 830 psi at 20 °C. In other words, if one places solid carbon dioxide in a closed container at room temperature, the carbon dioxide will eventually convert to liquid and the pressure above that liquid will be 830 psi (approximately 56 times normal atmospheric pressure).

Detailed explanation-2: -When 500ml 0f co2 gas is passed through red hot charcoal the volume becomes 700 ml .

Detailed explanation-3: -Thus 0.0806 moles are present in 1 L of solution. This corresponds to 0. 086×44=3. 52g.

Detailed explanation-4: -C = P/KHC = 2.4 atm/29.76 atm/(mol/L)C = 0.08 mol/LSince we have only 1 L of water, we have 0.08 mol of CO. There are 3.52 g of CO2 dissolved in a 1 L bottle of carbonated water from the manufacturer.
