Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
A metal cryostat was cooled with dry-ice and acetone and controlled to a temperature to $\pu{pm 0.05 K}$. The equilibration cell was mounted in the cryostat. The solvent was purified by fractional distillation and analyzed by chromatography. Details were not given.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Ethene purity was stated to be 99.9%.
- 2-Propanone was distilled and analyzed by chromatography. Actual purity not given.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: δT/K = ±0.05
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): δx1/x1 = ±0.01 (authors)
Components:
- Ethene, $\ce{ C2H4 }$; [74-85-1] NIST WebBook
- Acetone, $\ce{ C3H6O }$; [67-64-1] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
This result was part of a study for the behavior of solubilities in two-component solvent solutions.

(1) Only graphical results were available in this paper; a value of log of Henry's constant (H') was read from an enlarged graph by the compiler.
(2) Henry's constant (H) and mole fraction solubility (x1) were calculated by the compiler.
