IUPAC - Henry’s law volatility constant (via p and w) (09028)

Henry’s law volatility constant (via p and w)

symbol:

H_{v}^{p w}

, unit:

Pa

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.09028

Partial pressure

p

of a species in the gas phase divided by the mass fraction

w

of that species in the liquid phase under equilibrium conditions at infinite dilution:

H_{v}^{p w} := \underset{w \to 0}{l i m} \frac{p}{w}

Note: The coherent SI unit for

H_{v}^{p w}

Pa

Example: The Henry volatility (defined via partial pressure and liquid-phase mass fraction) of ozone in water at

T = 298.15 K

H_{v}^{p w} (O_{3}) = 2.1 \times 10^{8} Pa
