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.
11) Measured at high temperature and extrapolated to T⊖ = 298.15 K.
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.
43) The paper by Bunsen (1855a) was written in German. English versions with the same data were published by Bunsen (1855b) and Bunsen (1855c).
56) The data from Rettich et al. (1984) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −187.67954 +8903.42524/T +25.60079 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
57) The data from Murray et al. (1969) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −174.95275 +8370.22025/T +23.67878 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
58) The data from Morrison and Billett (1952) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −193.68175 +9249.63150/T +26.45117 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
59) Value at T = 311 K.
60) The data from Braun (1900) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( 291.66324 −11637.66767/T −46.44134 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
61) The data from Winkler (1891b) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −164.15156 +7906.86704/T +22.05399 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
62) The data from Dean and Lange (1999) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −163.64571 +7887.30480/T +21.97696 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
