Carbon Dioxide in NaCl

There is a relatively large database of experimental data for the solubility of carbon dioxide in water, much of which is at low pressure. Clever (1996) critically reviewed the data and generated salting-out coefficients. He separated the data into low pressure and high pressure regions. 

The values he obtained are shown graphically in figure 4.7. No attempt is made to distinguish the original source of the data, but a distinction is made between the low pressure and high pressure data. 

Both sets of data were used to generate the following correlation. 

In addition to the correlation shown by the figure, this plot also demonstrates the large scatter in the results obtained from the experimental data.
