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.
12) Value at T = 293 K.
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 & Lange (1999) were assumed to be identical.
59) Value at T = 311 K.
71) Solubility in sea water.
72) The data from Weiss & Price (1980) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −180.63595 +9824.19445/T +24.46109 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
73) Value at T = 296 K.
74) The data from Roth (1897) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −125.18003 +7706.84677/T +15.96500 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
75) Value given here as quoted by Gabel & Schultz (1973).
76) Value given here as quoted by Sy & Hasbrouck (1964).
