Components:

(1) Ethylbenzene, C₈H₁₀; [100-41-4] NIST WebBook
(2) Water, H₂O; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook

Original Measurements

McAuliffe, C.; Nature 1963, 200, 1092-3.

Variables:

Ambient temperature: 25 °C

Prepared by:

Z. Maczynska, A. Maczynski

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:

1. Phillips Petroleum Co.; 99+%; used as received.
2. distilled.

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±1.5°C
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): 0.0008 (std. dev. of mean)
