“The amount of air dissolved in a fluid is proportional to the pressure in the system”, which law is applicable to this statement?

“The amount of air dissolved in a fluid is proportional to the pressure in the system”, which law is applicable to this statement? Correct Answer Henry’s law

Solubility of air in water follows Henry’s Law – “the amount of air dissolved in a fluid is proportional to the pressure in the system” – and can be expressed as: c = pg / kH where, c = solubility of dissolved gas kH = proportionality constant depending on the nature of the gas and the solvent pg = partial pressure of gas (Pa, psi) The solubility of oxygen in water is higher than the solubility of nitrogen. Air dissolved in water contains approximately 35.6% oxygen compared to 21% in air.
