text: chemistry question- solubility? the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure  of that gas on the surface of the liquid according to _____________________.  : henry' s law   at higher pressures, gases tend to go into solution. (e.g. soda pop)   the solubility of gas is directly proportional to the pressure.    henry' s law: cg = kpg  (the gas solubility equation )   cg = solubility of gas (m), k = henry s law const.  pg = partial pressure of the gas  where cg is the molar concentration of the gas in the solution, pg is the partial pressure of the gas, and k is a solubility constant that is dependent upon the gas and the solvent. as we might predict, k is going to be dependent upon the intermolecular forces between the solvent and the gas. the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas on the surface of the liquid according to __henry' s law.__    it is quite well known that gases are soluble in liquids such as water. the ability of fish to breathe is dependent upon this fact. we bubble air into a fish tank and have water fountains in water purification tanks for the express purpose of improving the effieiency of the solution process. all of our carbonated beverages have their characteristic properties because of the solubility of carbon dioxide in water. we know that a soda left open in a warm room will get flat quickly. all of these observations are dependent upon the solubility of gases in water.
