Question:

At a constant temperature, the amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid". This law is known as

Options:

Henry's Law

Boyle's Law

Charles' Law

Newton's Law

Correct Answer:

Henry's Law

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1. Henry's Law.

The law described, stating that "the amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid," is known as Henry's Law.

Henry's Law governs the solubility of gases in a liquid and describes the relationship between the concentration of a dissolved gas and its partial pressure in the gas phase above the liquid. According to Henry's Law, at a constant temperature, the concentration of a dissolved gas is directly proportional to its partial pressure in the gas phase.
