Converting Henry's Law Constants

Your input: $H_{s}^{cp}$ = 1 $mol/(m^{3} ⋅Pa)$ (aq-concentration / partial pressure)

Conversion to Henry's law solubility constants $H_{s}$ yields:

$H_{s}^{cp}$ =	1	$mol/(m^{3} ⋅Pa)$	(aq-concentration / partial pressure)
$H_{s}^{cp}$ =	101.325	$M/atm$	(aq-concentration / partial pressure)
$H_{s}^{cc}$ =	2478.96		(aq-concentration / gas-concentration)
$H_{s}^{bp}$ =	0.00100301	$mol/(kg⋅Pa)$	(molality / partial pressure)
$H_{s}^{bp}$ =	101.63	$mol/(kg⋅atm)$	(molality / partial pressure)
$H_{s}^{xp}$ =	1.83089	${atm}^{-1}$	(molar fraction / partial pressure)
$α$ =	2271.1		(Bunsen coefficient)

Conversion to Henry's law volatility constants $H_{v}$ yields:

$H_{v}^{px}$ =	0.546182	$atm$	(partial pressure / molar fraction)
$H_{v}^{pc}$ =	1	$m^{3} ⋅Pa/mol$	(partial pressure / aq-concentration)
$H_{v}^{pc}$ =	9.86923E-06	$m^{3} ⋅atm/mol$	(partial pressure / aq-concentration)
$H_{v}^{cc}$ =	0.000403395		(gas-concentration / aq-concentration)

All conversions are calculated at a temperature of T = 298.15 K and a solution density of ϱ = 997 kg/m³, using the conversion factors from Sander (2023) as shown in the following tables.

Table 3: Products of Henry's law solubility constants $H_{s}$ and Henry's law volatility constants $H_{v}$ . For example, if $H_{v}^{px}$ = 11.1 atm, then $H_{s}^{bp}$ ≈ 5 mol/(kg atm) because 11.1 * 5 ≈ 55.5084.
