The solubility of ⁴⁰Ar and ⁸⁴Kr in liquid hydrocarbons: Implications for Titan's geological evolution

Sotin, Christophe; Choukroun, Mathieu; Hodyss, Robert +1 more

solubility of argon and krypton in methane and ethane has been experimentally determined at Titan-relevant temperatures. At typical Titan surface temperature (94 K), argon and krypton solubilities are very large (47% in methane and 15% in ethane for Ar, 29% in methane and 43% in ethane for Kr), making liquid alkanes on Titan an important potential…
