Solubilities of gases in water and other associated solvents

Abstract

Abstract A method for estimating the effect of hydrogen‐bonding on gas solubilities in polar solvents is presented. H‐bonding factors, which are based on ideal gas solubilities and solubilities in water, appear to be closely related to H‐bonding factors in the simple alcohols. Similarly, H‐bonding factors in solvents containing a carbonly group or dihydroxy groups were related to those in acetone. The relation between the various H‐bonding factors can be used to estimate solubilities in these and other associated solvents.
