Question

mention 2 important applications of henrys law

Answer 1

The important applications of Henry’s law are as follows:

1) In the production of carbonated beverages-in order to increase the solubility of CO2 in cold drinks,beer etc,the bottle are sealed under high pressure.When the bottle is opened under normal atmospheric pressure,the pressure inside the bottle falls to atmospheric pressure & the excess CO2 bubbles out of the bottle causing effervescence.

2) At high altitudes-the partial pressure of oxygen at high altitudes is less than the ground level this results in low concentration of oxygen in the blood & tissues of the people.

Answer 2

:1.To increase the solubility of CO2 in soft drink and soda water, the bottle is sealed under high pressure. When bottle is opened,under normal Atmospheric pressure, the pressure inside the bottle falls to atmosphere pressure and effervescence of CO2 gas is seen.
