Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The apparatus and procedure are described in Ref. 1. The equilibration device is a capillary tube 1 mm in diameter containing an internal mixer which is moved up and down by means of an external, motor driven magnet. The capillary tube is sealed in a vertical position and connected to a gas and liquid charging system, pressure gauges, as well as a volume regulator to maintain a constant pressure and to determine the volume of gas charged.
Graphs of liquid solution molar volumes are also given as a function of solution compositions, including those for critical values at high pressures.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Ethene purity 97.5% by analysis.
- Tetrachloro-propane vacuum distilled. Actual purity not given. Density and refractive index at 20°C:
ρ = 1.2509 g cm-3,
nD = 1.4843
Estimated Errors:
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): δx1/x1 = ±4% (compiler)

Experimental Values:
Note: Phase equilibrium compositions of ethene in liquid solutions are graphically shown as a function of pressure over the complete ethene composition range to 99 mole percent ethene. Critical phenomena are reported for high concentrations of ethene at high pressures.| T (K) | T (°C) | x1 | P1 (kPa) | H (atm-1) |

(1) Henry's law constants and mole fraction solubility's at 101.3 kPa were evaluated by the compiler form enlarged graphs only; there were no numerical solubility data. Henry's law was Observed to fit the data closely up to about 0.40 mole fraction ethene for all temperatures.
