Solubilities are reported for atmospheric pressure and temperatures of 298.15, 323.15 and 343.15 K for the gases propene, butane, isobutane and isobutene in the solvents n‐octane, chlorobenzene and n‐butanol. The solvents were chosen to investigate the effect of the nature of the solvent on gas solubility. The solvents range from the non‐polar (octane) to slightly polar (chlorobenzene) and to polar and associating (butanol). The order of gas solubilities in the slightly polar chlorobenzene is found to be closely related to the normal boiling points of the dissolving gases. A method for relating solubilities at various temperatures in similar polar and associating solvents is examined.
