Solubility of carbon dioxide

The solubility of carbon dioxide in water is given in Figure 1 (11). Over the temperature range 273—393 K, the solubiUties at pressures below 20 MPa (200 atm) decrease with increasing temperature. From 30 to 70 MPa (300—700 atm) a solubiUty minimum is observed between 343 and 353 K, with solubihties increasing as temperature increases to 393 K. Information on the solubiUty of carbon dioxide in pure water and synthetic seawater over the range 268 to 298 K and 101—4,500 kPa pressure (1—44 atm) is available (12,13). 

The solubility of carbon dioxide in water depends on the pressure and temperature. The relationship between temperature and pressure for 3.5 and 5 volumes is shown in Figure 17.4. It will also be affected by the amount of air already dissolved in the water. The raw water is therefore carefully filtered and de-oxygenated under vacuum before the sugars and flavourings are added. 

Both of these facts are employed in the carbonation process of sodas and beer and some sparkling wines. Low-temperature conditions and CO2 pressures of 3 to 4 atm are used to enhance the dissolution of carbon dioxide gas in water. The graph in Fig. 3.1.1 presents the solubility of carbon dioxide in water at various temperatures and pressures. The parameter used to express CO2 solubility is...

This sort of process works because the solubility of carbon dioxide in liquids increases with increasing pressure. This is true for all gases but carbon dioxide is much more soluble in liquids than the permanent gases because it is nearer its critical point. 

In condensing appliances there is a chance that, due the water solubility of carbon dioxide, small C02 fractions are assimilated by the condensate and cannot be measured in the flue gas. However, compared to the deviations from the maximum C02 fraction caused by variations in fuel gas composition, this is a negligible measurement corruption.

Probably an example and problems derived from the carbon dioxide-blood buffer system in humans should be in every physical chemistry course. What a rich, complex example this is from Henry s law for the solubility of carbon dioxide in water (blood) to buffer capacity, that is, the rate of change of the law of mass action with proton concentration. The example can be expanded to include nonideal solutions and activities. How many physical chemistry courses use this wonderful and terribly relevant to life example First-year medical students learn this material. 

Salt effects of lithium chloride and calcium chloride on the solubility of carbon dioxide in a mixture of methanol and water were observed at 25°C and 1 atm. Experimental results can be correlated by the Setschenow equation for a fixed solvent composition of salt-free basis. The salting-out parameter is not linear with solvent composition, which is opposite to the results obtained when a mixed salt is used. 

In the present investigation, the salt effects of lithium chloride and calcium chloride on the solubility of carbon dioxide in the mixed solvents of methanol and water were experimentally studied at 25°C and 1 atm. 

Solubilities of carbon dioxide were determined as in the previous investigations (3,4,5, 7). Full descriptions of the apparatus and the mode of operation... 

As a check on the degassing procedure, solubilities of carbon dioxide in aqueous calcium chloride solutions prepared in the same manner were determined at 25 °C and 1 atm. The results agreed with the previous results (4), in which the aqueous solutions were prepared by another method. Thus the degassing procedure adopted in this work can be considered satisfactory. 

In this study, the solubilities of carbon dioxide were represented by the Bunsen absorption coefficients and their values given in Table I for lithium chloride and in Table II for calcium chloride. The densities of salt solutions are...

Was this your answer The solubility of carbon dioxide in water decreases with increasing temperature. The warm drink will therefore fizz in your mouth more than does the cold one. 

Modifications to the model by Englezos et al. were later made to remove some minor inconsistencies and to account for the high solubility of carbon dioxide in water (Malegaonkar, et al., 1997). The last two steps are concepts with initial basic equations discussed in Section 3.2.1. Similarly to Equation 3.17, Englezos modeled steps (2) and (3) using Equation 3.18, where at steady state the rates of the two steps are assumed equal. Therefore, the rate of growth per particle is given by ...
