Chapter 24: Problem 5

Mathematical form of Henry's law is (a) \(m=k_{p}\) (b) \(p=k_{m}\) (c) \(\mu \frac{k}{m}\) (d) \(m \frac{1}{k} p\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The correct mathematical form of Henry's law is (d) \(m =\frac{1}{k} p\)

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the variables

In Henry's law expression, \(m\) represents the amount of gas dissolved, \(k\) is Henry's Law constant, and \(p\) is the partial pressure of the gas. Therefore, we must choose an option that expresses \(m\) as being proportional to \(p\).
02

Selection of the right option

Based on the understanding of Henry's law and the variables involved, option (a) and option (d) represents Henry's law correctly. However, given that in the natural form of Henry's law, \(k\) is in the denominator, we can identify that (d) \(m =\frac{1}{k} p\) as the correct mathematical representation of Henry's law.
