Gas Phase Heat Capacity (Shomate Equation)
Cp° = A + B*t + C*t2 + D*t3 +
E/t2
H° − H°298.15= A*t + B*t2/2 +
C*t3/3 + D*t4/4 − E/t + F − H
S° = A*ln(t) + B*t + C*t2/2 + D*t3/3 −
E/(2*t2) + G
Cp = heat capacity (J/mol*K)
H° = standard enthalpy (kJ/mol)
S° = standard entropy (J/mol*K)
t = temperature (K) / 1000.

Henry's Law constant (water solution)
kH(T) = k°H exp(d(ln(kH))/d(1/T) ((1/T) - 1/(298.15 K)))
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)
| k°H (mol/(kg*bar)) | d(ln(kH))/d(1/T) (K) | Method | Reference | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 210000. | 8700. | R | N/A | missing citation assume the temperature dependence to be the same as for a(H+) a(NO3-) / p(HNO3) in missing citation. |
| 2.4×10+6/KA | 8700. | T | N/A | For strong acids, the solubility is often expressed as kH = ([H+] * [A-]) / p(HA). To obtain the physical solubility of HA, the value has to be divided by the acidity constant KA. missing citation corrects erroneous data from missing citation. |
| 2.6×10+6 | 8700. | T | N/A | |
| 350000./KA | 8700. | Q | N/A | For strong acids, the solubility is often expressed as kH = ([H+] * [A-]) / p(HA). To obtain the physical solubility of HA, the value has to be divided by the acidity constant KA. missing citation refer to several references in their list of Henry's law constants but they don't assign them to specific species. |
