What are the three application of Henry's law?
Answers
Answer: Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas. Further mole fraction of the gas in a solution is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas.
Answer:
The three applications of Henry 's law are
Explanation:
1. In the production of carbonated beverages, in order to increase the solubility of carbon dioxide in cold drinks,beers etc. the bottles are sealed under high pressure. When the bottle is opened under normal atmospheric pressure, the pressure inside the bottle falls to atmospheric pressure and the excess of carbon dioxide bubbles out of the bottle cause effervescence
2. At high altitudes the partial pressure of oxygen at higher altitudes is less than the ground level ,this results the lower concentrations of oxygen in the blood and tissue of the human beings.
3. During scuba diving when the driver breaths in compressed air from the supply tank more nitrogen dissolves in the blood and other body fluids because of the pressure at the depth is far greater than the surface atmospheric pressure.
