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.

  1. When the temperature increases, does the amount of CO2 absorbed in water increase or decrease?
  2. Which gas absorbs more in water, CO2 or O2?
  3. How does the amount of gas absorbed change as the gas pressure increases?
