Answer

C. William Henry

Show ExplanationHide Explanation

Explanation

William Henry is associated with Henry’s law relating gas solubility to its partial pressure at fixed temperature. In the stated concentration convention, C = kPgas, where C is dissolved-gas concentration and k depends on the gas, solvent and temperature. Other conventions place a different Henry constant on the opposite side of the relation.
