Are the units correct?protractor said:Sg = 1.02M/3.0atm * 1.0 atm = .34 atm
.34 is in M instead of atm (I forgot to cancel out the atm).mjc123 said:Are the units correct?
Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. In other words, as the partial pressure of a gas increases, the solubility of that gas in the liquid also increases.
The solubility of gas according to Henry's law is affected by temperature, pressure, and the type of gas and liquid involved. As temperature and pressure increase, the solubility of gas also increases. The type of gas and liquid also play a role, with some gases being more soluble in certain liquids than others.
Henry's law is used in many real-world applications, such as in the carbonation of drinks, where carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in a liquid under pressure. It is also used in water treatment and purification processes, as well as in the study of gas exchange in the human body.
No, Henry's law is only applicable to ideal gases and liquids. For real gases and liquids, the relationship between pressure and solubility is more complex and cannot be accurately predicted by Henry's law.
The solubility of gas using Henry's law decreases with depth in a body of water as the pressure increases. This is because the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid also increases with depth, causing the gas to become less soluble. This is why deep sea divers can experience decompression sickness if they ascend too quickly, as the gas they have been breathing under high pressure can become less soluble and form bubbles in their bloodstream.
