K-Value or Vapour-Liquid Distribution Ratio of Component Formula

LaTeX Go

K value = Mole Fraction of Component in Vapor Phase/Mole Fraction of Component in Liquid Phase
K = y_Gas/x_Liquid

Define K-Value and it's Relation with Relative Volatility (α).

The K value or vapour-liquid distribution ratio of a component is the ratio of vapour mole fraction of that component to the liquid mole fraction of that component. A K value for a more volatile component is larger than a K value for a less volatile component. That means that α (relative volatility) ≥ 1 since the larger K value of the more volatile component is in the numerator and the smaller K of the less volatile component is in the denominator.

What are the Limitations of Henry Law?

Henry law is only applicable when the molecules of the system are in a state of equilibrium. The second limitation is that it does not hold true when gases are placed under extremely high pressure. The third limitation that it is not applicable when the gas and the solution participate in chemical reactions with each other.
