- I knew this going in, yes the fact that it isn't an "ideal solution" does most
- certainly hinder the application of Henry's Law here. I simply threw this out
- to see if anyone knew of measurements that have been taken. A similar
- calculation in Harte's "Consider a Sphereical Cow" takes into account the
- various non-ideal reactions that take place and it does a "better" (how ever
- you may wish to define it) job.

- Thanks to all who wrote by e-mail or post. I appreciate it.
