Popis: We have measured the solubility of ammonia in chloroform at several pressures and at three temperatures (25, 30, and 35 °C). Results of these measurements have been analysed in terms of the Henry's law constant that applies to "simple" dissolution of the type B(g) = B(dissolved) and the equilibrium constant K for the liquid phase complex-forming equilibrium represented by A + B = AB where A and B represent chloroform and ammonia, respectively. As expected on the basis of this analysis, ammonia is more soluble (same pressure and temperature) in chloroform than in carbon tetrachloride, where no hydrogen-bonded complex can be formed. Keywords: gas solubility, hydrogen-bonded complexes, Henry's law constant, ammonia–chloroform complex, chloroform-ammonia complex.
