The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas over the solution. Identify the law for this statement.
Henry's law
Raoult's law
Dalton's law
Avogadro's law
Solution
Henry's law states that "At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid." This law was given by William Henry in 1803.
