Data

The first column contains Henry's law solubility constant

H_{s}^{cp}

at the reference temperature of 298.15 K.
The second column contains the temperature dependence

d ln H_{s}^{cp} / d
(1/ T)

, also at the reference temperature.

H_s= ([RCHO]+[RCH(OH)₂])/p(RCHO).

538)

Warneck (2005) refers to Saxena and Hildemann (1996) as the source, but the quoted value cannot be found there.
