In celebration of Pierces birthday tomorrow, 15 December, #ScienceSunday will feature, this Sunday, famous scientists who were born during the month of December. 12 December 1775 William Henry (1775 - 1836) was an English chemist who formulated what would become known as Henrys Law. Henrys Law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid. This law also applies to several dilute solutions in addition to gases.
