Henry and Wilson laws

Henrys law
"At a constant temperature,
the amount of a given gas
that dissolves in a given type
and volume of liquid is
directly proportional to the
partial pressure of that gas
in equilibrium with that
liquid

C=KhP

The figure 1 (the graphic)

show us the behavior of a
of the vapor pressure of a
solution follows Henry's
Law at low concentrations
and Raoult's Law at high
concentrations (pure)

C= Solubility of a gas
at a fixed temperature
(M)
Kh= Constant of Henry
s law (M/atm)
P = Partial pressure of
the gas (atm)

The figure 2 show us the

behavior of the molecules
of the gas following the
Henrys law because
more gas molecules are
soluble at higher
pressure.

Background for Wilson law: (Because its very hard to

understand)
Important: In a mixture, even if the compounds are of a similar
chemical nature we may observe non negligibe deviations from
ideality.
Flory theory: these deviations from ideality are of entropic
origin and correspond to the possibilities of distribution of the
molecules in a tridimentional lattice.
Combinatorial: refers to this type of deviations.

The Wilson Law:

Local composition: It is the source of the models deemed best

for correlation and prediction of deviation from ideality
The Wilson therory is based on the Flory theory and is characterized
by the expressions of excess Gibbs energy containing binary
parameters whose values must be determined by experimental
data.
