Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
A glass bubbling-type of saturator immersed in a constant temperature bath was used. The gas was presaturated with water vapor. A known volume of saturated solution was transferred over mercury into a Van Slyke desorption apparatus. Gas removed in three evacuations was transferred to a sample tube where the volume was determined and a sample of the gas was analyzed. The solubilities were expressed as the Bunsen coefficients.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Ethene source and purity not given.
- Water distilled.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: δT/K = ±0.05
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): δβ/β = ±0.04 (complier)
Components:
- Ethene, $\ce{ C2H4 }$; [74-85-1] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
