What is the significance of Henry's Law constant $K_H$?
(N/A) Henry's law is expressed mathematically as,$p = K_H X$ (where,$p$ is the partial pressure of the gas in the vapour phase and $X$ is the mole fraction of the gas in the solution).
From this equation,it is evident that for a given pressure,the higher the value of the Henry's law constant $K_H$,the lower is the solubility of the gas in the liquid.
