Solubility

Description

The solubility of a gas, S_G, is defined as concentration divided by partial pressure, S_G = c_G·p_G^-1.

Abbreviation: S_G

Reference: Hitchman and Gnaiger 1983

The solubility of a gas (Hitchman and Gnaiger 1983) — sometimes called the 'solubility coefficient' — is related to the classical Bunsen absorption coefficient, α (see Forstner and Gnaiger 1983). S_G has the dimension of molar amount of the gas per volume of the solution per partial pressure of the gas, α has the dimension of volume of the gas (STPD) per volume of the solution per partial pressure of the gas.

The inverse of S_G is related to the activity coefficient (concentration basis) of the gas (see Activity),

γB = SG-1·c°/p°
