We can use Henry's law to calculate the expected concentration of CO₂ in the soda: CO₂ = kH * P where CO₂ is the concentration, kH is the Henry's law constant, and P is the partial pressure of CO₂. Plugging in the given values, we get: 2.2 × 10^-1 = kH * 6.5 Solving for kH, we get: kH = 3.4 × 10^-2 mol/L-atm, which is choice (D).
