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.
