Henry's LawSolutions

How does the value of Henry's Law constant (K_H) change with temperature, and what does this imply for the solubility of a gas?.

Expert Answer

The value of K_H increases as temperature rises. Since a higher K_H value corresponds to lower solubility at a given pressure, this explains the physical observation that gases become less soluble in liquids as the liquid becomes hotter.
