Henry's Law Constant Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Henry's Law constant is:

\[ k = \frac{C}{P} \]

Where:

\( k \) is Henry's Law Constant
\( C \) is the concentration of a dissolved gas (mol/L)
\( P \) is the partial pressure of the gas (atm)

What is Henry's Law Constant?

Henry's Law Constant is a principle in physics that states the amount of gas that dissolves into a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. This constant is crucial in understanding gas solubility in liquids and is widely used in various scientific and industrial applications.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Concentration (C): 0.5 mol/L
Partial Pressure (P): 2 atm

Using the formula to calculate Henry's Law constant:

\[ k = \frac{0.5}{2} = 0.25 \]

Henry's Law Constant (k) is 0.25.
