Bio-Transport 45: Partial Pressure of Oxygen and Henry’s Constant

Let us now turn our attention to a foundational principle in the understanding of gas solubility in liquids---Henry’s Law---and in particular, to its application to the behavior of molecular oxygen in aqueous environments. This discussion is vital not only for chemistry and physiology but also for fields as diverse as environmental science, biomedical engineering, and respiratory medicine. The interaction between a gas and a liquid phase under equilibrium conditions can be precisely described using Henry’s Law, and in the case of oxygen, the gas of primary metabolic importance, this relationship becomes particularly illuminating.
