Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The apparatus and method are described in earlier papers (1, 2). Solubility is determined in a thermostatted, magnetic stirred cylindrical brass bomb with an observation window. The solution is prepared and put in a glass liner in the bomb. The system is sealed, evacuated to a pressure just above water vapor pressure, and outgassed with stirring for several hours. The gas is added to a known pressure and equilibrated with stirring for a minimum of five hours. Stirring is stopped, the solution is allowed to become still. The gas is vented leaving the supersaturated solution under a gaseous pressure of atmospheric pressure for a fixed time of 30 to 60 seconds. The rate of gas loss during the still condition is measured to use in a later correction. The gas is stirred and collected. The total volume of gas is measured along with ambient pressure and temperature.

Experimental Data
The measurements are made at several pressures up to 10 - 15 atm (1 - 1.5 MPa). The solubility values have been corrected to 1 atm (0.103 MPa) partial pressure of CO2. See method below.
