Henry's law is one of the gas laws, formulated by William Henry in 1803. It
states that:
An equivalent way of stating the law is that the solubility of a gas in a liquid at a
particular temperature is proportional to the pressure of that gas above the
liquid. Henry's law has since been shown to apply for a wide range of dilute
solutions, not merely those of gases.
Henry's law can be put into mathematical terms (at constant temperature) as
where p is the partial pressure of the solute in the gas above the solution, c is
the concentration of the solute and kH is a constant with the dimensions of
pressure divided by concentration
, Dalton's law (also called Dalton's law of partial pressures) states that the total
pressure exerted by a gaseous mixture is equal to the sum of the partial
pressures of each individual component in a gas mixture. This empirical law was
observed by John Dalton in 1801 and is related to the ideal gas laws.

where the mole fraction of the i-th component in the total mixture of n
components .
Dalton's law is not exactly followed by real gases. Those deviations are
considerably large at high pressures. In such conditions, the volume occupied by
the molecules can become significant compared to the free space between
them. Moreover, the short average distances between molecules raises the
intensity of intermolecular forces between gas molecules enough to substantially
change the pressure exerted by them. Neither of those effects are considered by
the ideal gas model.
Gay-Lussac's law is used for each of the two relationships named after the
French chemist Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and which concern the properties of
gases, though it is more usually applied to his law of combining volumes, the
first listed here. One law relates to volumes before and after a chemical reaction
while the other concerns the pressure and temperature relationship for a sample
of gas.
Under STP, a reaction between three cubic metres of hydrogen gas and one
cubic metre of nitrogen gas will produce circa two cubic metres of ammonia
The law of combining volumes states that, when gases react together to form
other gases, and all volumes are measured at the same temperature and
pressure:
The ratio between the volumes of the reactant gases and the products can be
expressed in simple whole numbers.
This reflects the fact that (Avogadro's law) equal volumes of gas contain equal
numbers of molecules ( at the same temperature and pressure), and also that in
chemical reactions, the molecules combine in a ratio of whole numbers—this is
known as the stoichiometry of the chemical reaction and is expressed via the
chemical equation for the reaction. The law of combining gases was published by
Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1808
Gay-Lussac's name is also associated — erroneously — with another gas law, the
so-called pressure law, which states that:
The pressure of a gas of fixed mass and fixed volume is directly proportional to
the gas's absolute temperature.
Simply put, if a gas's temperature increases then so does its pressure, if the
mass and volume of the gas are held constant. The law has a particularly simple
mathematical form if the temperature is measured on an absolute scale, such as
in kelvins. The law can then be expressed mathematically as:
or
where:
k is a constant.
This law holds true because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic
energy of a substance; as the kinetic energy of a gas increases, its particles
collide with the container walls more rapidly, thereby exerting increased
pressure.
For comparing the same substance under two different sets of conditions, the
law can be written as:
Newton's laws of motion consist of three physical laws that form the basis for
classical mechanics. They describe the relationship between the forces acting on
a body and its motion due to those forces. They have been expressed in several
different ways over nearly three centuries,[2] and can be summarized as follows:
First law: Every body remains in a state of rest or uniform motion (constant
velocity) unless it is acted upon by an external unbalanced force. [3][4][5] This
means that in the absence of a non-zero net force, the center of mass of a body
either remains at rest, or moves at a constant speed in a straight line.
Third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are
equal, opposite and collinear. This means that whenever a first body exerts a
force F on a second body, the second body exerts a force −F on the first body. F
and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This law is sometimes
referred to as the action-reaction law, with F called the "action" and −F the
"reaction". The action and the reaction are simultaneous.
A degree of freedom may be any useful property that is not dependent on other
variables. For example, in the 3D ideal chain model, two angles are necessary to
describe each monomer's orientation.
Triple points are points on phase diagrams where lines of equilibrium intersect.
Triple points mark conditions at which three different phases can coexist. For
example, the water phase diagram has a triple point corresponding to the single
temperature and pressure at which solid, liquid, and gaseous water can coexist
in a stable equilibrium.
The solidus is the temperature below which the substance is stable in the solid
state. The liquidus is the temperature above which the substance is stable in a
liquid state. There may be a gap between the solidus and liquidus; within the
gap, the substance consists of a mixture of crystals and liquid (like a "slurry").[1]
