According to Henry law.,
Henry’s law of solubility can be expressed by the following formula:
Cg = KHPg
Here, Cg is the solubility of gas, kH is Henry’s constant and Pg is the partial pressure.
The amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure above the liquid and the amount of solubility of gas in water is inversely proportional to the temperature.
