confusion in henrys law partial pressure of gas = henry's constant * mole fraction of gas solubility = henry's constant * partial pressure of gas solubilty = (henry constant)^2 * mole fraction of gas are all 3 statements correct ??

1 and 2 are the same right? with diff values of henrys constant (dimensions) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry%27s_law#Values_of_Henry's_law_constants
Henry's law
In physical chemistry, Henry's law is a gas law that states that the amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is directly proportional at equilibrium to its partial pressure above the liquid. The proportionality factor is called Henry's law constant. It was formulated by the English chemist William Henry, who studied the topic in the early 19th centu...

always keep units in consideration while writing down relations like this.

oh so there are multiple henry constants

apparently yeah, i asked the exact same doubt a few weeks ago but from jee pov i think the first one is mainly followed

yes, Henry's Constant is just like a constant that's used to show proportionality between two things like solubility and partial pressure or partial pressure and mole fraction (mostly), and it's not like an actual fixed constant like Coulomb's Constant in electromagnetism or like the G in the universal law of gravitation
