Show hintHide hint
Think of the symbols used in defining mass concentration.
Question 2.
What is Henry's Constant used for?
Show hintHide hint
Remember, it's about the relationship between gas and liquid.
3Question 3.
What does Henry's constant measure?
- The equilibrium concentration in solids
- The ratio of gas to liquid concentrations
- The mass of organic matter in soil
Show hintHide hint
Look for the connection between the two states.

- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider both sides of how soil interacts with chemicals.
Question 5.
