Proportionality factor describing the equilibrium distribution of a chemical species between the gas phase and a liquid solution at infinite dilution of the solute according to Henry’s law. It is an umbrella term for the reciprocal quantities Henry’s law solubility constant and Henry’s law volatility constant. Because of its ambiguity, it is strongly recommended to specify whether a solubility or volatility constant is intended.
