Drummond (1981) activity model

The activity model of Drummond (1981) for a dissolved gas.

In the activity model of Drummond (1981), the activity coefficient of a dissolved gas (e.g., CO2(aq), O2(aq), H2S(aq)) is computed using:

\[\ln\gamma_{i}=\left(a_{1}+a_{2}T+\frac{a_{3}}{T}\right)-(a_{4}+a_{5}T)\frac{I}{I+1},\]

where I is the ionic strength of the aqueous solution (in molal) and T is temperature (in K).
