What is Henry's law and its application?
Answers
Henry's law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a gas that dissolves in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid. It was formulated by William Henry in 1803
Important applications of Henry's law: 1) In packing of soda cans: Soda water bottles are always packed under higher pressure to increase the solubility of CO2 gas. 2) In deep-sea diving: Nitrogen is more soluble than Helium in our blood. In the deep sea, the pressure is higher than at the surface of the water.

Explanation:
Henry's law is one of the gas laws states that: 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.
