According to Raoult’s law, the vapour pressure of a volatile component
in a given solution is given by pi = xi pi
0 In the solution of a gas in a
liquid, one of the components is so volatile that it exists as a gas and
we have already seen that its solubility is given by Henry’s law which
states that
p = KH x If we compare the equations for Raoult’s law and Henry’s law, it
can be seen that the partial pressure of the volatile component or gas
is directly proportional to its mole fraction in solution Only the
proportionality constant KH differs from p1
