'''Henry's law''', formulated by William Henry in 1803 | '''Henry's law''', formulated by William Henry in 1803 (Refs. 1 and 2), states that ''the amount of a given gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid''. Mathematically this can be written as | ||
