Henry's Law constant (water solution)

kH(T) = H exp(d(ln(kH))/d(1/T) ((1/T) - 1/(298.15 K)))
H = Henry's law constant for solubility in water at 298.15 K (mol/(kg*bar))
d(ln(kH))/d(1/T) = Temperature dependence constant (K)

H (mol/(kg*bar)) d(ln(kH))/d(1/T) (K) Method Reference Comment
0.00027 QN/ASeveral references are given in the list of Henry's law constants but not assigned to specific species.
0.00027 QN/A missing citation give several references for the Henry's law constants but don't assign them to specific species.
