Henry's Law




A formula for Henry's Law is:

:\ e^P = e^{kC}

where:

Taking the Natural Logarithm of the formula, gives us the more commonly used formula:

:\ P = kC

This version is used to showcase the effectiveness of the law for dilute solutions of gases that don't react with the solvent. Some values for ''k'' include:

  • O2 : 4.34×104 L·atm/mol

  • CO2 : 1.64×103 L·atm/mol

  • H2 : 7.04×104 L·atm/mol


when these gases are dissolved in Water at 299 Kelvin s. Note that the solubility coefficient varies with solvent and temperature.
