What are the applications of Henry's law

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Applications of Henry’s law:
1. To increase the solubility of CO2 in soda water and soft drinks, the bottle is sealed under high pressure.
2. To avoid the toxic effects of high concentration of nitrogen in the blood, the tanks used by scuba divers are filled with air diluted with helium (11.7% helium, 56.2% nitrogen and 32.1% oxygen).
3. At high altitudes, low blood oxygen causes climbers to become weak and make them unable to think clearly, which are symptoms of a condition known as anoxia.
