Thomas Henry

Thomas Henry was a British chemist known for his work in the late 18th century, particularly in the study of gases. He is most famous for Henry's Law, which states that the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is proportional to the pressure of that gas above the liquid. This principle is important in various fields, including chemistry, biology, and environmental science, as it explains how gases behave in liquids. His contributions laid important groundwork for further research in physical chemistry and helped advance our understanding of gas-solvent interactions.
