GK QUESTION#3477
Which scientist formulated the gas-solubility relation expressed in the concentration convention C = kPgas at fixed temperature?
Show Answer
Answer
C. William Henry
Show 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.
