In this question, you are given the Henry constant (9.71 * 10-4 mol/l atm), the volume (1 l) and the pressure (2.75 atm). The molecular mass of CO should be 28g/mol.

Then the amount of carbon monoxide in the water in grams should be: 9.71 * 10-4 mol/l atm * 1l * 2.75atm * 28g/mol = 747.67 * 10^-4 = 0.074767 grams
