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 H_s.
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.
33)	Fitting the temperature dependence dlnH/d(1/T) produced a low correlation coefficient (r² < 0.9). The data should be treated with caution.
34)	Data digitized from Figs. 2 and 3 in Schmidt (1979).
43)	The paper by Bunsen (1855a) was written in German. English versions with the same data were published by Bunsen (1855b) and Bunsen (1855c).
71)	Solubility in sea water.
376)	Cargill (1990) recommends the data from Rettich et al. (1982).
377)	The data from Rettich et al. (1982) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: H_s^cp= exp( −188.21737 +8974.05844/T +25.72558 ln(T)) mol m⁻³ Pa⁻¹, with T in K.
378)	The data from Douglas (1967) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: H_s^cp= exp( −180.92848 +8514.05914/T +24.68060 ln(T)) mol m⁻³ Pa⁻¹, with T in K.
379)	Solubility in sea water at 20.99 % chlorinity.
380)	The data from Winkler (1901) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: H_s^cp= exp( −163.07031 +7890.85881/T +21.94517 ln(T)) mol m⁻³ Pa⁻¹, with T in K.
381)	The data from Dean and Lange (1999) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: H_s^cp= exp( −161.93492 +7852.78262/T +21.76812 ln(T)) mol m⁻³ Pa⁻¹, with T in K.
