Absorption and Henry's Law: Interactive Simulation
This simulation is browser-based and will work directly on this page. Try to predict the behavior when a parameter changes before using a slider to change that parameter.
Simulation: Henry's Law for Gases Dissolved in Water
Try to answer these questions before determining the answer with the simulation. We suggest that you write down the reasons for your answers.
- When the temperature increases, does the amount of CO2 absorbed in water increase or decrease?
- Which gas absorbs more in water, CO2 or O2?
- How does the amount of gas absorbed change as the gas pressure increases?
