Calculating CO2 Dissolution in Water at Room Temperature

AI Thread Summary
To determine the pressure at which 7g of CO2 will dissolve in 375ml of water at room temperature, empirical data is necessary, particularly the dissociation and dissolution constants for CO2 in water under the specific pressure and temperature conditions. Analytical methods alone may not provide the required accuracy without this empirical data.

Gday,

Just wondering how to work out at what pressure 7g of CO2 will dissolve in 375ml of water at room temperature. Do I need empirical data? Or can I do it analytically?

Thanks,
knarl.

One needs the dissociation/dissolution constants for CO2[/url] in water under the P, T conditions.

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
