Solution
Correct Answer:
Directly proportional to the pressure of the gas
Henry's Law describes the behavior of gas-liquid solutions.
- Definition: At a constant temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the surface of the liquid or solution.
- Mathematical Form: P=KHX, where P is partial pressure, X is the mole fraction (solubility), and KH is Henry's Law constant.
- Application: This principle is utilized in the production of carbonated beverages where CO2 is dissolved under high pressure.
