Henry’s law constant
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-005209
A proportionality constant that relates the partial pressure of a gas above a liquid to its concentration or amount dissolved in the liquid at a given temperature. Different forms of the constant exist depending on the units used for gas pressure and dissolved gas concentration. It quantifies the solubility of a gas in a solvent.
