    Henry's Law

    Uploaded by

    Henry's law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a gas that dissolves in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in contact with the liquid. There are two types of Henry's law constants: the solubility constant relates the concentration of a gas in solution to its partial pressure above the solution, while the volatility constant relates the partial pressure of a gas above solution to its mole fraction in solution. Henry's law applies to dilute gas solutions and describes the equilibrium between a gas and its dissolved form in a liquid.

    HENRY’S LAW

    DEFINITION

    O At a constant temperature, the amount of a


    given gas that dissolves in a given type and
    volume of liquid is directly proportional to the
    partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with
    that liquid.

    (1)
    O An equivalent way of stating the law is that
    the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly
    proportional to the pressure of the gas. Henry's
    Law has since been shown to apply for a wide
    range of dilute solutions, not merely those of
    gases.

    solution
    O c is the concentration of the solute in the solution (in
    one of its many units)
    O kH is the Henry's Law constant, which has units such
    as L··atm/mol or atm/(mole fraction) or Pa · m3/mol
    (7)
    when a gas is in contact with the surface of a liquid, the amount of the gas
    which will go into solution is proportional to the partial pressure of that gas.
