La solubilidad de un gas disminuye al aumentar la temperatura y es directamente proporcional a la presión del gas sobre el líquido. Esta relación entre la presión y la solubilidad de un gas se conoce como la ley de Henry, la cual puede enunciarse matemáticamente como C = kP, en donde C es la concentración del gas en la solución, P la presión del gas (en general, su presión parcial) sobre la solución y k es una constante de proporcionalidad, conocida como constante de la ley de Henry. 1, record 2, Spanish, - constante%20de%20la%20ley%20de%20Henry
