Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
After an excess of (1) had been shaken with about 1 L of (2) for about a week, a known volume of saturated solution was made slightly alkaline, and a stream of pure air passed through to drive off the (1). After passage through a silica tube packed with cupric oxide and heated to redness, the (2) was removed by concentrated sulfuric acid and calcium chloride and the carbon dioxide absorbed and weighed in soda-asbestos. The precautions usual in organic combustions were taken.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- source not specified; purest obtainable material; distilled; purity not specified.
- not specified.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±0.1°C
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±1% (mean of large numbers of determinations)
Components:
- Ethylbenzene, $\ce{ C8H10 }$; [100-41-4] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of ethylbenzene in water at 25°C was reported to be 0.00155 mol(1)/1000 g(2).
The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by compilers are 0.0165 g(1)/100 g sln and x1 = 2.8 × 10-5.
