Rapport de la teneur en une substance de l'eau à la teneur de l'air en cette substance directement au-dessus de la surface; on peut calculer cette constante à l'aide de l'équation suivante : H = 16 PpM/TS dans laquelle H est la constante de la loi d'Henry, Pp est la pression partielle (en mm de Hg), M est la masse moléculaire, T est la température absolue (en degrés Kelvin) et S est la solubilité (en ppm). 1, record 1, French, - constante%20de%20la%20loi%20d%27Henry

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 1, Spanish, - constante%20de%20la%20ley%20de%20Henry
