Converting Henry's Law Constants

Your input: Hscp = 1 mol/(m3⋅Pa) (aq-concentration / partial pressure)

Conversion to Henry's law solubility constants Hs yields:

Hscp = 1 mol/(m3⋅Pa) (aq-concentration / partial pressure)
Hscp = 101.325 M/atm (aq-concentration / partial pressure)
Hscc = 2478.96 (aq-concentration / gas-concentration)
Hsbp = 0.00100301 mol/(kg⋅Pa) (molality / partial pressure)
Hsbp = 101.63 mol/(kg⋅atm) (molality / partial pressure)
Hsxp = 1.83089 atm-1 (molar fraction / partial pressure)
α = 2271.1 (Bunsen coefficient)

Conversion to Henry's law volatility constants Hv yields:

Hvpx = 0.546182 atm (partial pressure / molar fraction)
Hvpc = 1 m3⋅Pa/mol (partial pressure / aq-concentration)
Hvpc = 9.86923E-06 m3⋅atm/mol (partial pressure / aq-concentration)
Hvcc = 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.
