Henry's Law - Influence of Electrolytes

Influence of Electrolytes

The influence of electrolytes on the solubility of gases is sometimes given by Sechenov (often spelled Setchenov) equation which accounts for the "salting out" (i.e., decreasing the solubility) or "salting in" (i.e., increasing the solubility) effect (see the article on activity coefficient). The Sechenov equation can be written as:

where:

  • *z1 is the solubility of gas 1 in pure solvent
  • z1 is the solubility of gas 1 in an electrolyte solution
  • y expresses the salt composition
