Henry latent heat

Henry's law relates to the behavior of gases in liquids. It states that at a constant temperature, the amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid is proportional to the pressure of that gas above the liquid. This means that if you increase the pressure, more gas will dissolve. Latent heat, in a general sense, refers to the energy required for a substance to change its state (like from liquid to gas) without changing its temperature. Together, these concepts explain how gases interact with liquids under different conditions, impacting processes like carbonation in beverages.
