Type

Table entries are sorted according to reliability of the data, listing the most reliable type first: L) literature review, M) measured, V) VP/AS = vapor pressure/aqueous solubility, R) recalculation, T) thermodynamical calculation, X) original paper not available, C) citation, Q) QSPR, E) estimate, ?) unknown, W) wrong. See Section 3.1 of Sander (2023) for further details.

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.
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.
33) Fitting the temperature dependence dlnH/d(1/T) produced a low correlation coefficient (r2 < 0.9). The data should be treated with caution.
34) Data digitized from Figs. 2 and 3 in Schmidt (1979).
35) The data from Gordon et al. (1977) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −158.95051 +6959.76267/T +21.73478 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
36) The data from Crozier and Yamamoto (1974) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −129.44163 +5676.58091/T +17.31002 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
37) The data presented for hydrogen in Table II of Shoor et al. (1969) appear to be incorrect and are not reproduced here.
38) Value at T = 303 K.
39) The data from Morrison and Billett (1952) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −94.36490 +4110.23880/T +12.07743 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
40) The data from Braun (1900) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( 171.59451 −6856.02728/T −28.14739 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
41) The data from Winkler (1891a) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −103.47250 +4506.63123/T +13.44160 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
42) Fitting the temperature dependence dlnH/d(1/T) produced a very low correlation coefficient (r2 < 0.5). The data should be treated with caution.
43) The paper by Bunsen (1855a) was written in German. English versions with the same data were published by Bunsen (1855b) and Bunsen (1855c).
44) The data from Dean and Lange (1999) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −98.78036 +4298.15060/T +12.74131 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
