A first-order
temperature-dependent group contribution method was
developed to predict Henry’s law constants of hydrocarbons,
alcohols, ketones, and formates in which none of the functional groups
are attached directly to a benzene ring. Efforts to expand this method
to include ester and ether groups were unsuccessful. Second-order
groups were developed at a reference condition of 298.15 K and 100
kPa. A second-order temperature-dependent group contribution method
was then developed for hydrocarbons, ketones, esters, ethers, and
alcohols. These methods were compared to existing literature prediction
methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
