The Haldane (Haldane gas law)

The Haldane gas law, often associated with the work of scientist John Scott Haldane, describes how gases behave under different pressures and temperatures, especially concerning their dissolution in liquids, like how oxygen dissolves in blood. It highlights that gas solubility in liquids increases with pressure and decreases with temperature. This principle is crucial in fields like medicine, particularly in understanding how gases affect human physiology at varying depths, such as in scuba diving, where pressure changes can lead to problems like decompression sickness if not managed properly.
