Henry's Law
Henry's law, one of the gas laws, at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas which will dissolve into a solution is directly porportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the solution in equilibrium with the liquid.

\(\large{ C }\) = concentration of the solubility (gas) at a fixed temperature in a partial solution | - | \(\large{\frac{mol}{L}}\) |
\(\large{ k }\) = Henry's law constant | - | \(\large{\frac{atm-L}{mol}}\) |
\(\large{ P }\) = partial pressure of the gas | - | \(\large{atm}\) |
