title: The Henry's law coefficient of 2-nitrophenol over the temperature range 278-303 K.
abstract: Although 2-nitrophenol has been identified as an important environmental chemical there is scarcity in the literature regarding the temperature dependence of its Henry's law coefficient, H. Here a bubble purge method was used to measure H for 2-nitrophenol over the temperature range 278-303 K. A novel approach in the data treatment allowed correction of the data for non-equilibrium partitioning in the apparatus to obtain the true equilibrium H value. The experimentally derived temperature-dependent expression for H of 2-nitrophenol is lnH (M atm(-1)) = (6290/T (K)) - 16.6. The standard enthalpy and entropy of gas-to-liquid transfer for 2-nitrophenol in aqueous solution are -52.3 +/- 8.1 kJ mol(-1) and -138 +/- 28 J mol(-1) K(-1), respectively.
