Notes

1) A detailed temperature dependence with more than one parameter is available in the original publication. Here, only the temperature dependence at 298.15 K according to the van 't Hoff equation is presented.
3) The vapor pressure for water from Wagner and Pruss (1993) was used to calculate Hs.
12) Value at T = 293 K.
14) Value at T = 310 K.
20) Calculated using machine learning matrix completion methods (MCMs).
21) Several references are given in the list of Henry's law constants but not assigned to specific species.
23) The partial pressure of water vapor (needed to convert some Henry's law constants) was calculated using the formula given by Buck (1981). The quantities A and α from Dean and Lange (1999) were assumed to be identical.
29) Value given here as quoted by Durham et al. (1981).
43) The paper by Bunsen (1855a) was written in German. English versions with the same data were published by Bunsen (1855b) and Bunsen (1855c).
71) Solubility in sea water.
187) Estimation based on the quotient between vapor pressure and water solubility, extracted from HENRYWIN.
382) The data from Zheng et al. (1997) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −144.44443 +8071.06186/T +19.20040 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
383) The data from Murray and Riley (1971) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −167.86941 +9146.24434/T +22.67331 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
384) The data from Morrison and Billett (1952) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −126.83009 +7302.88179/T +16.55553 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
385) The data from Bohr (1899) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −140.70007 +7951.73013/T +18.60961 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
386) As mentioned by Fogg and Sangster (2003), the fitting equation by Scharlin (1996) is erroneous. It appears that a correction factor of about 106 is necessary for consistency with their own data in Table 1.
387) The data from Dean and Lange (1999) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −138.54120 +7859.16351/T +18.28486 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
