The value of Henry’s law constant for at is .
Further explanation:
Solubility
It is that property of substance by virtue of which it becomes able to dissolve in other substances. It is measured in terms of the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in the given amount of solvent.
Henry’s Law
According to this law, solubility of gas dissolved in the liquid is directly related to the partial pressure of gas. High partial pressure means high solubility and vice-versa.
Mathematically,
…… (1)
To remove the proportionality constant in equation (1), constant known as Henry’s constant is incorporated and equation (1) modifies to,
…… (2)
Here,
is the solubility of gas.
is Henry’s constant.
is the pressure of gas.
Equation (2) can be rearranged in order to calculate Henry’s constant and equation (2) becomes,
…… (3)
At , the value of Henry’s law constant for up to three significant figures is .
