Under equilibrium conditions and at constant temperature, Henry s law defines the relative amount of a volatile compound in the gas phase as a function of the relative concentration in the water phase., i.e., Henry s law quantifies the degree of tendency of a volatile compound to escape from the liquid phase. The... 

The estimation of the solubility at one atmosphere gas pressure was made by one of two procedures. If the solubility was measured at only one pressure at a given temperature, Henry s law was used, and the inverse of Henry s constant was calculated as X2(1 atm) = 1/H2 i = X2/P2. The procedure works well at moderate gas partial pressures, but at higher gas partial pressures of 25 atm or more the procedure often appears to give low solubility values. However, it is the only practical procedure when the solubility was measured at only one pressure. When solubility values were measured at several pressures at a given temperature, the data were fitted by a linear regression to an empirical function X2/P2 = a + bP2 to obtain the unit pressure solubility value. In some cases a quadratic rather than a linear function of pressure was used. 

The solubility of a gas in a liquid may be expressed by the Ostwald solubility coefficient, which is the volume of gas dissolved in unit volume of liquid at a given temperature, or as the Bunsen s absorption coefficient, in which the temperature and pressure are reduced to standard conditions. The solubility of a gas in a liquid decreases with increase of temperature at constant pressure and is directly proportional to pressure at a constant temperature (Henry s law). 

The Henry s law proportionality constant is called the solubility coefficient, often represented by S, and is a function of temperature. Henry s law holds exactly for ideal solutions, and is a good approximation for most real solutions, as long as they are dilute. In particular, it works well for oxygen and carbon dioxide up to about one atmosphere, and for many organic vapors at low concentrations. 

Bearing in mind that the Henry s law constant was given as (vol. CO2/V0I. solution)/PCO2 the summary given in the abstract indicates that at low temperatures Henry s law was more nearly followed when the volume of gas was related to the volume of the solution rather than to the volume of the solvent. In Fig. 1551 have compared the vol. CO2/V0I. solution plot with that for vol. CO2/V0I. S for propanol and benzene at different pcoj and at 20°C. To convert vol. A/vol. S (Ostwald coefficient) data into Xa data, the density and molecular weight of the original liquid S are material factors. The statement that the solubility (vol./vol.) decreases with the increase in molecular weight of S, even if the liquids S are chemically related, is, on a molecular basis, invalid. See Table 45. 

Values of Henry s law constants are tabulated in a variety of sources, such as Lyman et al. (1990), Howard (1989-1991), Mackay and Shiu (1981), and Hine and Mookerjee (1975). Table 1.3 lists Hemy s law constants for some common chemicals. Occasionally a Henry s law constant is expressed in an inverse fashion, as the ratio of a chemical s concentration in water to its partial pressure in air see, e.g., Stumm and Morgan (1996, p. 213). In that reference, Kh is equivalent to 1/H as H is defined in this textbook. When H is not tabulated, it can be estimated by dividing the vapor pressure of a chemical at a particular temperature by its aqueous solubility at that temperature. Henry s law constants generally increase with increased temperature, primarily due to the significant temperature dependency of chemical vapor pressures as previously mentioned, solubility is less sensitive to the range of temperatures normally found in the environment. Note that even if a chemical has a low vapor pressure, it may still have a high Henry s law constant, if its solubility is very low. 

Henry s law The mass of gas which is dissolved by a given volume of a liquid at constant temperature is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas. The law is only obeyed provided there is no chemical reaction between the gas and the liquid. 

The solubihty of a gas in water is affected by temperature, total pressure, the presence of other dissolved materials, and the molecular nature of the gas. Oxygen solubihty is inversely proportional to the water temperature and, at a given temperature, directly proportional to the partial pressure of the oxygen in contact with the water. Under equihbrium conditions, Henry s law apphes... 

Hydrogen Chloride—Water System. Hydrogen chloride is highly soluble in water and this aqueous solution does not obey Henry s law at ah concentrations. Solubhity data are summarized in Table 5. The relationship between the pressure and vapor composition of unsaturated aqueous hydrochloric acid solutions is given in Reference 12. The vapor—Hquid equiHbria for the water—hydrogen chloride system at pressures up to 1632 kPa and at temperatures ranging from —10 to +70° C are documented in Reference 13. 

Fiend s Constant. Henry s law for dilute concentrations of contaminants ia water is often appropriate for modeling vapor—Hquid equiHbrium (VLE) behavior (47). At very low concentrations, a chemical s Henry s constant is equal to the product of its activity coefficient and vapor pressure (3,10,48). Activity coefficient models can provide estimated values of infinite dilution activity coefficients for calculating Henry s constants as a function of temperature (35—39,49). 

For quite a number of gases, Henry s law holds very well when the partial pressure of the solute is less than about 100 kPa (I atm). For partial pressures of the solute gas greater than 100 kPa, H seldom is independent of the partial pressure of the solute gas, and a given value of H can be used over only a narrow range of partial pressures. There is a strongly nonlinear variation of Heniy s-law constants with temperature as discussed by Schulze and Prausnitz [2nd. Eng. Chem. Fun-dam., 20,175 (1981)]. Consultation of this reference is recommended before considering temperature extrapolations of Henry s-law data. 

Thermodynamie equations, whieh relate to thermodynamie properties (e.g., pressure, temperature, density, eoneentration), either within the eontrol region (e.g., gas laws) or on either side of a phase boundary (e.g., Henry s law). 

Henry s law States that the mass of a gas dissolved in a definite volume of liquid at constant temperature is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas. 

In general, gas solubilities are measured at constant temperature as a function of pressure. Permanent gases (gases with critical temperatures below room temperature) will not condense to form an additional liquid phase no matter how high the applied pressure. However, condensable gases (those with critical temperatures above room temperature) will condense to form a liquid phase when the vapor pressure is reached. The solubilities of many gases in normal liquids are quite low and can be adequately described at ambient pressure or below by Henry s law. The Henry s law constant is defined as... 

Thus, Ahj and Asj can be obtained by determining the pressure required to achieve a specified solubility at several different temperatures and constant composition, Xj. In the Henry s law region, Ahj and Asj can be found directly from the temperature... 

The advantage of the stoichiometric technique is that it is extremely simple. Care has to be taken to remove all gases dissolved in the IL sample initially, but this is easily accomplished because one does not have to worry about volatilization of the IL sample when the sample chamber is evacuated. The disadvantage of this technique is that it requires relatively large amounts of ILs to obtain accurate measurements for gases that are only sparingly soluble. At ambient temperature and pressure, for instance, 10 cm of l-n-butyl-3-methylimida2olium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PFg]) would take up only 0.2 cm of a gas with a Henry s law constant of... 

The solubilities of the various gases in [BMIM][PFg] suggests that this IL should be an excellent candidate for a wide variety of industrially important gas separations. There is also the possibility of performing higher-temperature gas separations, thanks to the high thermal stability of the ILs. For supported liquid membranes this would require the use of ceramic or metallic membranes rather than polymeric ones. Both water vapor and CO2 should be removed easily from natural gas since the ratios of Henry s law constants at 25 °C are -9950 and 32, respectively. It should be possible to scrub CO2 from stack gases composed of N2 and O2. Since we know of no measurements of H2S, SO, or NO solubility in [BMIM][PFg], we do not loiow if it would be possible to remove these contaminants as well. Nonetheless, there appears to be ample opportunity for use of ILs for gas separations on the basis of the widely varying gas solubilities measured thus far.

Henry s Law. This is an empirical formulation that describes equilibrium solubilities of noncondensable gases in a liquid when Raoult s law fails. It states that the mole fraction of a gas (solute i) dissolved in a liquid (solvent) is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid surface at given temperature. That is,... 

Henry s Law At a given temperature the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid solution at equilibrium is proportional to the pressure in the gas space. 

If Mi is the mass of gas dissolved in a given volume of a liquid under unit pressure at a given temperature, np the mass dissolved under a pressure p, then, by Henry s law... 

Deviations from Henry s law are exhibited by most gases having absorption coefficients greater than 100. In some cases the discrepancies vanish at higher temperatures. Thus Roscoe and Dittmar (1860) found that ammonia did not follow the law of Henry at the ordinary temperature, but Sims (1862) showed that the deviations from the law became less as the temperature at which absorption occurred increased, until at 100° the amount of ammonia dissolved by water was directly proportional to the pressure. The deviations appear to be always greatest under small pressures, and to decrease with increasing pressure, and therefore with increasing concentration of the solution they are doubtless due to chemical interaction between the solvent and dissolved gas. 

Corollary 2.—The vapour pressure of the solution is equal to that of the pure solvent when c = c. Since, by Henry s law, c/c depends only on temperature, and since distillation of liquid cannot alter its composition in this case, the solution will distil unchanged at a constant temperature exactly like a pure substance. This holds only within the limits of applicability of Henry s law. 

NOTE The proportionality constant k is reduced with increase in temperature. Under these hot DA conditions, the solubility of oxygen is very low (as per Henry s Law).
