I missed an answer to a question when professor was going through it
at the end of a lecture (for a grad level Analytical Chem class)The
question is related to Henry's Law.
Q: How can temperature adjustments be made to improve Henry’s law
constants for trapping or desorbing gases?
Since K is a function of T (Temperature) , I'd say that if you want to
change K, change T. Changing (increase or decrease in T to change K to
desired direction) must be done according to the solubility of the
gas. For example, Oxygen dissolves better in cold water. So,
decrease the T to increase K for .
Am I right?
