Question

According to Henry's law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

**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**: $P = K_H X$, where $P$ is partial pressure, $X$ is the mole fraction (solubility), and $K_H$ is Henry's Law constant.
- **Application**: This principle is utilized in the production of carbonated beverages where $CO_2$ is dissolved under high pressure.
