Question
Henry's law (Chapter 10 ) predicts that the solubility of a gas in a liquid increases with its partial pressure. Explain Henry's law in relation to Le Chatelicr's principle.
Step 1
According to this principle, if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change. In other words, if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in pressure, temperature, or Show more…

Henry's law states that the concentration of a gas dissolved in a liquid is proportional to the pressure of the gas. This law is a consequence of the equilibrium
State Henry's law. Name three factors that govern the solubility of a gas in a liquid.
Henry's law can be stated this way: The mass of a gas dissolved by a given quantity of solvent at a fixed temperature is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas. Show how this statement is related to equation (14.2).
