The solubility of the noble gases He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe in water up to the critical point

Abstract

The solubility of the noble gases Ar, He, Ne, Kr, and Xe in pure water was measured from 298 to 561??K. These data in turn were extrapolated to the critical point of water, thus providing a complete set of Henry's law constants from 274 to 647??K when combined with the existing literature data. Equations describing the behavior of the Henry's law constants over this temperature range are also given. The data do not confirm extrapolations of empirical correlations based on low-temperature solubility data. ?? 1978 Plenum Publishing Corporation.

An investigation of the critical liquid-vapor properties of dilute KCl solutions

The three parameters that define the critical point, temperature, pressure, and volume have been experimentally determined by means of filling studies in a platinum-lined system for five KCl solutions ranging from 0.006 to 0.568 m . The platinum-lined vessels were used to overcome the problems with corrosion experienced by earlier workers. The critical temperature ( t c ), pressure ( P c ), and volume ( V c ) were found to fit the equations t c = 374.14   +   16.602 m   +   41.740 m  ± 0.5 ∘ C P c = 220.9   +   135.164 m  +   41.173 m 2   ±   0.5 b a r s V c = 3.155   −   1.373 m   +   0.507 m  ±   0.008 c m 3 − g − 1 "> t c = 374.14 + 16.602 m −−√ + 41.740 m ± 0.5 ∘ C P c = 220.9 + 135.164 m + 41.173 m 2 ± 0.5 b a r s V c = 3.155 − 1.373 m −−√ + 0.507 m ± 0.008 c m 3 − g − 1 tc=374.14 + 16.602m + 41.740m ±0.5∘CPc=220.9 + 135.164m + 41.173m2 ± 0.5barsVc=3.155 − 1.373m + 0.507m ± 0.008cm3−g−1 from infinite dilution to 1.0 m .
