Raoult’s Law (Special Case of Henry’s Law)
According to Raoult’s law, “solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid”. Mathematically it can be written as
p = xipi0
One of the components of a gas in a liquid solution is so volatile that it exists as a gas. According to Henry’s law, it is soluble in water.
p = KHx
As a result, Raoult’s law is a specific case of Henry’s law, in which KH equals pi0be dissolved

Solubility
Solubility is a fundamental concept in chemistry that describes the ability of a substance to dissolve in a particular solvent under specific conditions to form a solution. A fluid may or may not dissolve completely in a fluid. Understanding the concept of solubility is essential in many fields of science, including pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and materials science.
In this article, we will explore the key concepts of solubility, such as factors that affect solubility, solubility product, and solubility of different phases of matter with each other.
