Question

At $$760\,torr$$   pressure and $${20^ \circ }C$$  temperature, $$1\,L$$  of water dissolves $$0.04\,gm$$  of pure oxygen or $$0.02\,gm$$  of pure nitrogen. Assuming that dry air is composed of $$20\% $$  oxygen and $$80\% $$  nitrogen (by volume), the masses ( in $$g/L$$  ) of oxygen and nitrogen dissolved by $$1\,L$$  of water at $${20^ \circ }C$$  exposed to air at a total pressure of $$760\,torr$$   are respectively :

A. 0.008, 0.016  
B. 0.016, 0.008
C. 0.16, 0.08
D. 0.04, 0.02
Answer :   0.008, 0.016
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Mass of oxygen}} = \frac{{20}}{{100}} \times 0.04 \cr & = 0.008\,g/L \cr & {\text{Mass of nitrogen}} \cr & = \frac{{80}}{{100}} \times 0.02 \cr & = 0.016\,g/L \cr} $$
