Solubility Vs Pressure

Question

Doubling partial pressure of a gas above liquid (Henry's law region) will:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

1. **Henry's Law Principle**: The solubility of a gas ($s$) in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure ($p$) of that gas over the liquid.
2. **Mathematical Form**: $s = K_H 	imes p$.
3. **Application**: Because the relationship is **directly linear**,
   - If $p$ is multiplied by $2$,
   - then $s$ must also be multiplied by $2$.
4. **Verdict**: Doubling the pressure results in **Double solubility**. Standard application: Carbonated drinks are bottled under high $CO_2$ pressure to maximize dissolved gas.
