In Geophysics
In geophysics, a version of Henry's law applies to the solubility of a noble gas in contact with silicate melt. One equation used is
where:
- C = the number concentrations of the solute gas in the melt and gas phases
- β = 1/kBT, an inverse temperature scale: kB = the Boltzmann constant
- µE = the excess chemical potentials of the solute gas in the two phases.
