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

21)	Several references are given in the list of Henry's law constants but not assigned to specific species.
186)	Experimental value, extracted from HENRYWIN.
403)	Value obtained by Saxena and Hildemann (1996) using the group contribution method.
426)	Saxena and Hildemann (1996) say that this value is unreliable.
431)	Saxena and Hildemann (1996) give a range of 5.9×10⁶ mol m⁻³ Pa⁻¹ < H_s^cp < 3.9×10⁹ mol m⁻³ Pa⁻¹.
