Notes

12) Value at T = 293 K.
14) Value at T = 310 K.
21) Several references are given in the list of Henry's law constants but not assigned to specific species.
68) Modarresi et al. (2007) use different descriptors for their calculations. They conclude that a genetic algorithm/radial basis function network (GA/RBFN) is the best QSPR model. Only these results are shown here.
71) Solubility in sea water.
186) Experimental value, extracted from HENRYWIN.
230) Yao et al. (2002) compared two QSPR methods and found that radial basis function networks (RBFNs) are better than multiple linear regression. In their paper, they provide neither a definition nor the unit of their Henry's law constants. Comparing the values with those that they cite from Yaws (1999), it is assumed that they use the variant Hvpx and the unit atm.
243) Value from the training dataset.
244) Calculated using the GROMHE model.
245) Calculated using the SPARC approach.
246) Calculated using the HENRYWIN method.
249) Yaffe et al. (2003) present QSPR results calculated with the fuzzy ARTMAP (FAM) and with the back-propagation (BK-Pr) method. They conclude that FAM is better. Only the FAM results are shown here.
250) Value from the training set.
299) Value given here as quoted by Staudinger and Roberts (1996).
783) The data from Moore et al. (1995) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −408.59491 +21699.59623/T +58.19801 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
784) The data from Wright et al. (1992) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( 1124.79951 −46767.40872/T −170.54217 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
