Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
A small (20 mL) magnetically stirred absorption vessel was connected to a larger (100 mL) gas reservoir at higher pressure in a constant temperature bath. The volumes of lines, valves and vessels were accurately determined. A quartz Bourdon gauge was used to measure the system pressure. A known mass of deaerated solvent was charged to the absorption vessel and the amount of vapor released on charging was estimated. Gas was charged incrementally to maintain a constant pressure until no additional gas was required. The change in pressure in the gas supply reservoir was used to determine the quantity consumed.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Ethene, min. purity 99.95%.

Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: δT/K = ±0.01
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): δx1/x1 = ±0.5% (Authors)
