Henry's Law

Home > Chemistry > Solutions and Solubility > Henry's Law

The amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. Describes the behavior of gases in solutions.

Solution and Solvent: Understanding the meaning and properties of solutions and solvents, and how they affect solubility.
Concentration: Understanding how concentration affects the solubility of a substance.
Partial pressure: Understanding how partial pressure of gases impacts solubility.
Temperature: Understanding how temperature affects solubility.
Gas solubility: Understanding solubility of gases in liquids, and how it differs from solubility of solids.
Equilibrium: Understanding the concept of equilibrium and how it relates to Henry's Law.
Henry's Law constant: Understanding the Henry's Law constant and how it can be used to predict gas solubility in liquids.
Raoult's Law: Understanding how Raoult's Law is related to Henry's Law, and its implications for gas-liquid equilibrium.
Humidity: Understanding how humidity relates to gas solubility in liquids.
Real-world applications: Understanding the practical applications of Henry's Law in fields such as environmental science, chemical engineering, and industrial processes.
Ideal Gas Henry's Law: This law applies to ideal gases and assumes that the gas molecules do not interact with each other or with the solvent molecules.
Non-Ideal Gas Henry's Law: This law considers the non-ideality of gases and includes corrections to the ideal gas law for deviations from ideal behavior.
Temperature-Dependent Henry's Law: This law takes into account the effect of temperature on the solubility of gases in liquids, as solubility generally decreases with increasing temperature.
Concentration-Dependent Henry's Law: This law applies to solutions where the concentration of dissolved gas affects the rate of dissolution, and the solubility decreases as the concentration of gas in the liquid increases.
Salting-Out Henry's Law: This law applies to solutions where the solubility of gases in liquids is influenced by the presence of a salt or other solute, which decreases the solubility of the gas.
Pressurized Henry's Law: This law applies to cases where the gas is compressed under high pressure before being dissolved in a liquid, and the solubility increases with increasing pressure.
Henry's Law Constant: This is the proportionality constant between the partial pressure of the gas and the amount of gas dissolved in the liquid, and it can be used to calculate the solubility of gases in liquids under various conditions.
