the greater the partial pressure of a gas, the greater the diffusion of the gas into the liquid.
at a given temperature the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid.
Henry's law constant. Henry's law predicts that the solubility (C) of a gas or volatile substance in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure (P) of the substance over the liquid: P = k C where k is called the Henry's law constant and is characteristic of the solvent and the solute.
Henry's law is discovered in 1801 by the British chemist William Henry (1775-1836). At a constant temperature the mass of gas dissolved in a liquid at equilibrium is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas. It applies only to gases that not react with the solvent. xi = Kx∙pi where pi is the partial pressure of component above the solution, xi is its mole fraction in the solution, and Kx is the Henry's law constant (a characteristic of the given gas and solvent, as well as the temperature).
A principle of physical chemistry that relates equilibrium partial pressure of aa substance in the atmosphere above a liquid solution to the concentration of the same substance in the liquid; the ratio of concentration to equilibrium partial pressure equals the Henry's law constant, which is a temperature sensitive characteristic; Henry's law generally applies only at low liquid concentrations of a volatile component.
(chemistry) law formulated by the English chemist William Henry; the amount of a gas that will be absorbed by water increases as the gas pressure increases
The amount of gas dissolved in a solution is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the solution.
Henry's Law is a measure of the extent that a chemical separates between water and air. The higher the Henry's Law constant, the more likely substances will volatize rather than remaining in water.
The solubility of a gas in a liquid can be calculated by Henry's law which states that the solubility of the gas is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas in contact with the liquid.
A law of physical chemistry which says that at a certain temperature (34°C) the concentration of a volatile substance (alcohol) in the air above a fluid is proportional to the concentration of the volatile substance in the fluid. Diffusion of blood alcohol into deep lung air is governed by this principle.
the amount of any given gas that will dissolve in a liquid at a given temperature is a function of the partial pressure of the gas in contact with the liquid and the solubility coefficient of the gas in the liquid.
The pressure of the gas above a solution is proportional to the concentration of the gas in the solution.
In chemistry, Henry's law is one of the gas laws, formulated by William Henry.
