What is Henry’s law and what are some of its important applications?

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (A) Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid and is described by the equation P =kC , where C is the concentration of the gas in the liquid, P is the partial pressure of the gas, and k is the Henry's law constant. Some important applications of Henry's law include understanding gas exchange in biological systems, such as respiration and the dissolution of gases in beverages.
