Henry's law is a law of physical chemistry that describes the solubility of a gas in a liquid. It states that for a given temperature, the amount of a gas that dissolves in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in the gas phase. In mathematical terms, the equation for Henry's law is:
C = k * P
where:
C = concentration of the gas in the liquid
k = Henry's law constant (specific to each gas and solvent)
P = partial pressure of the gas in the gas phase
Henry's law is often used to determine the solubility of gases in liquids and is important in various applications in chemistry and biology, such as in the study of gas exchange in aquatic environments and the absorption of gases in the blood.
