a

Estimated 3σ error is 1.2 cm3/mol; error is 17, 23, and 34 percent at 30, 40, and 50 °C, respectively.

b

Estimated error is 24, 16, and 11 percent at 30, 40, and 50 °C, respectively.

c

Estimated error is nominally 43 percent at 30, 40, and 50 °C.

d

Quadrature of errors contributed by Henry’s law, gas constant, and ignoring the correction to the law of ideal solutions.

e

Computed by the square root of the sum of the squares of the individual terms.
