Original Measurements
McAuliffe, C.; Nature 1963, 200, 1092-3.
Variables:
Room Temp: 25 °C
Prepared by:
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The saturated solution of (1) in (2) was prepared by either shaking vigorously on a reciprocal shaker or stirring for several days with a magnetic stirrer. A 0.05 mL or 0.10 mL sample of the hydrocarbon-saturated water was injected directly into a gas liquid chromatograph.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Phillips Petroleum Co.; 99+%; used as received.
- distilled.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±1.5°C
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): 0.0008 (std. dev. of mean)
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 0.0159 g(1)/100 g sln.
The corresponding mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compilers is 2.70 × 10-5.
