✦ Synopsis

The solubility of carbon dioxide, krypton, and xenon has been measured at 1 Atm.

total pressure and at temperatures of 25, 30, 37, and 45" in distilled water, 0.9 per cent sodium chloride, and .066 M phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.0. T h e solubility of the gases studied in aqueous solution decreased as the temperature increased.

Heats and entropies of solution have been calculated according to Eley's equation (16). T h e relation between ASo and AH" at various temperatures is exaaly linear i n every case, and the slope is approximately equal to 1/T.

HE SOLUBILITY of krypton and xenon in water

T has been measured by many investigators( 1-5.9).

However, the results reported in the literature are not in agreement. The present study was undertaken to obtain more precise solubility coefficient data needed for calculation of body fat in a living body from the equilibration of these gases in the body. The solubility of carbon dioxide in water and normal saline has also been measured in order to test the apparatus and technique employed.
