ABSTRACT

The solubilities of 12 nonpolar gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, H2, N2, CH4, C2H4, C2H6, CF4, and SF6) in the liquids triethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether, dimethyl carbonate, and diethyl carbonate have been measured at the temperature 298.15 K and 101.33 kPa partial pressure of gas using a saturation method. The solubilities have been expressed as mole fractions of gas dissolved and also as Henry's constants. The Scaled Particle Theory has been applied to the results in order to obtain the distance and potential energy of Lennard-Jones for the liquids. The ability of this theory to correlate the solubilities is discussed.
