    B.

    Jacques Charles

    C.

    Edme Mariotte

    D.

    The correct answer is (a) William Henry.
    · The equation C=KPgas known as Henry's Law, was formulated by William Henry in 1803.
    · Henry's Law states that the concentration of a gas (CCC) in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid, with KKK being the proportionality constant.
    · This law is significant in understanding how gases dissolve in liquids, which is crucial in various scientific and industrial processes.
    Information Booster:
    · Jacques Charles: Known for Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure.
    · Edme Mariotte: Known for Mariotte's Law, which is essentially Boyle's Law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional at constant temperature.
    · Robert Boyle: Known for Boyle's Law, which describes the inverse relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature.
