Question
Explain Henry's Law.
✓
Answer
Henry's Law At constant temperature, in the given quantity of solvent, the amount of gas dissolved in a given volume is directly proportional to pressure of gas. On increasing temperature, the quantity decreases.
Hence:
$\begin{aligned} & m \propto p \\ & m = kp \end{aligned}$
where m quantity of dissolved gas
k = Henry's constant and p = Pressure of gas
Hence:
$\begin{aligned} & m \propto p \\ & m = kp \end{aligned}$
where m quantity of dissolved gas
k = Henry's constant and p = Pressure of gas
