hii there,
Henry's law is defined as, 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.
Mathematically, at constant temperature:
p = kH c
where p is the partial pressure of the solute in the gas above the solution
c is the concentration of the solute and
kH is Henry's law constant, depends on the solute, solvent and the temperature.
kH : It has crucial importance in environmental chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, waste water treatment. They are needed since solubility affects volatilizations of toxic compounds into the air...
i hope it help you

On December 23, 1802 a 23-year-old scientist presented his experiments to the most prestigious scientific society of the day. The experiments were designed to better understand the fundamental nature of gases and liquids. He was at the forefront of science in his time. His contributions to modern-day environmental safety could not have been imagined. How much of what we do today will survive the same test of time?
Who was Henry?
HENRY, WILLIAM (1774–1836), chemist, son of Thomas Henry, F.R.S. [q. v.], born at Manchester on 12 Dec. 1774, was educated at the Manchester academy under the Rev. Ralph Harrison [q. v.] After five years spent with Dr. Thomas Percival he removed, in the winter of 1795–6, to the university of Edinburgh, where he attended, among other lectures, those of Dr. Black on chemistry. He afterwards assisted his father in general medical practice at Manchester, but returned to Edinburgh in 1805, and took the degree of M.D. in 1807, the title of his inaugural dissertation being ‘De Acido Urico et Morbis a nimia ejus secretione ortis.’ Meanwhile he had communicated to the Royal Society a paper on carbonated hydrogenous gas (1797), another on muriatic acid (1800), and the results of important experiments he had carried on with regard to the quantity of gases absorbed by water at different temperatures and under different pressures (1803).*
Perhaps his most significant contribution can be found from Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. 1803 93, 29-274, published 1 January 1803, which was verbally presented on a December 23, 1802 to The Royal Society of London. This publication is generally attributed to being the origin of Henrys’ Law. Page 1 of the publication is reproduced here:
