Henry's law coefficients for the binary system acetonitrile‐water are reported as a function of temperature from 279–303 K. The results are used to estimate the tropospheric residence time of acetonitrile due to wet precipitation (3±1.5 years) and the dry deposition velocity over the ocean (0.5 cm/s).
