Overview
Henry's Law and Raoult's Law are fundamental concepts in chemistry that describe the behavior of gases and solutions. Henry's Law focuses on the solubility of gases in liquids, stating that the amount of gas dissolved is proportional to its partial pressure. This principle is crucial in various appl...
