Summary.
There are more than 150 papers that report on the solubility of the four chloromethanes in water. Volume 62 of the Solubility Data Series compiles and evaluates the papers concerned with the liquid–liquid solubility of the chloromethanes with water. A similar evaluation has not been carried out for the vapor–liquid solubility at a partial pressure up to the saturation vapor pressure of the four chloromethanes. This paper uses the liquid–liquid evaluated solubility values to calculate vapor–liquid Henry’s constants. They are compared with a compilation of Henry’s constants with good agreements between the calculated constants and the median of the compiled constants. It is believed that the calculated constants are a reliable set of values to use for the vapor–liquid solubility of the chloromethanes in water.
