Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The method consisted of preparing serial dilutions of a suspension of [1] in [2] and determining nephelometrically the amount of [1] per unit volume beyond which further dilution caused no reduction in light scattering, which remained equal to that of pure [2]. A Bausch and Lomb Dubosque colorimeter model 100-mm was employed. Many details are reported in [1].
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Eastman Kodak Company; purified; MP = 266.6-266.9°C or Hoffman La Roche; MP = 262.7-264°C (cf. [2]).
- Dust-free.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±3°C
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±10-7 g(1) dm-3(2)

Components:
- Dibenz[a,h]anthracene, $\ce{ C22H14 }$; [53-70-3] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of dibenz[a,h]anthracene in water at 27°C was reported to be 5 × 10-7 g(1) L-1 (2).
(Two identical results have been obtained)
With the assumption that 1.00 L sln = 1.00 kg sln, the corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 5 × 10-8 g(1)/100 g sln and 3 × 10-11.
