William Henry (1774–1836) was an English chemist best known for his work on the laws of gases and particularly for formulating Henry's Law. Henry's Law states that the amount of a gas that will dissolve in a liquid at a given temperature is proportional to the pressure of that gas above the liquid. This principle has important applications in fields such as chemistry, environmental science, and engineering, particularly in understanding gas solubility in liquids and the behavior of gases in various systems.
