Aqueous solubility of volatile nonelectrolytes

The solubilities of gases in water and their distribution between coexisting liquid and steam are of great interest for hydrothermal processes because gaseous solutes are usually present. For many geochemical and industrial processes in aqueous media, it is important to have a suitable formulation t...
