In geochemistry, a version of Henry's law applies to the solubility of a noble gas in contact with silicate melt. One equation used is
where
:C is the number concentrations of the solute gas in the melt and gas phases,
:β = 1/kT, an inverse temperature parameter (k is the Boltzmann constant),
:µ is the excess chemical potentials of the solute gas in the two phases.
