To solve the problem, we need to understand the relationship between the solubility of a gas in a liquid and its Henry's law constant (K_H). Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand Henry's Law Henry's Law states that the amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid at a given temperature is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid. The mathematical expression for Henry's Law is: \[ K_H = \frac{P}{C} \] where: - \( K_H \) is the Henry's law constant, - \( P \) is the partial pressure of the gas, ...
