Methodology:
The principle of the Ostwald method was used in which the gas is agitated with a measured quantity of gas-free liquid and the decrease in volume of solution-saturated gas is measured in a burette over mercury. The pressure was adjusted to yield one atmosphere partial pressure of carbon dioxide. The volume of gas was reduced to 0 °C by the ideal gas law. Experiments were conducted to show that the agitation did not cause supersaturation.

Experimental Data
The authors fitted their data up to 6 molal with the equation:
Sm/So = 0.107 m2 + 1/(1 + 0.04282 m2)
Maximum error of the equation was about 1 %.
