Henry's constant for CO2 at 298 K (25 C) = 0,0335 Mol/L*Atm = 1,47 gram/L*Atm. Which is strange since the density for CO2 at 25 degrees celsius is about 1,78 grams/L at 1 bar.

So why is there this difference: 1,47 gram/L vs 1,78 gram/L????

I think i maybe know. Henry's law is for how much CO2 is dissolved in water and the density is for 100% pure CO2
