A. Guha et D. Mukherjee, KIRKWOOD-BUFF PARAMETER FOR THE SOLUBILITY OF GASES IN WATER AT HIGH-PRESSURE, Journal of the Indian Chemical Society, 74(3), 1997, pp. 195-198
Pressure dependence gas solubilities of sparingly soluble gases like n
itrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide in water
at 25 degrees have been calculated with the help of thermodynamic func
tions using a statistical method of curve fitting. The approximate pre
ssure ranges are : N-2 (25-120 atm), H-2 (25-120. atm), O-2 (10-90 atm
), CO (25-105 atm) and NO (10-105 atm). The solubility data are analys
ed in terms of Kirkwood-Buff solution theory, and the role of hydropho
bic interactions is discussed.
