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.

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

12)	Value at T = 293 K.
21)	Several references are given in the list of Henry's law constants but not assigned to specific species.
33)	Fitting the temperature dependence dlnH/d(1/T) produced a low correlation coefficient (r² < 0.9). The data should be treated with caution.
186)	Experimental value, extracted from HENRYWIN.
300)	Value from the test set for true external validation.
721)	Modified gas-stripping method (MGSM); see Lau et al. (2006) for details.
722)	Integrated gas-stripping method (IGSM); see Lau et al. (2006) for details.
723)	Calculated with the principal component regression (PCR) method; see Lee (2007) for details.
724)	Calculated with the partial least-square regression (PLSR) method; see Lee (2007) for details.
