Variables:
Ambient temperature: 20 °C

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
About 100-500 mL (2) was placed in a glass cylinder and 10-50 mg of an insoluble indicator was added and (1) was microburetted until the indicator floated to form a colored thin layer on the cylinder wall 2-3 cm above the liquid layer. After each drop of (1), the mixture was vigorously mixed for 0.5-1.5 min.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Not specified.
- not specified.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: not specified.
Experimental Values:
Note: The solubility of ethylbenzene in water at 20°C was reported to be 0.21 g(1) L-1 (2).The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 0.021 g(1)/100 g sln and 3.6 × 10-5. The assumption that 1 dm3 sln = 1 kg sln was used in the calculation.
