Methodology:
The solvent was held in a jacketed burette. Constant temperature water was circulated through the jacket. Gas was bubbled through the solvent until saturated. The dissolved gas content was determined by an electrometric dead-stop titration technique which yielded the bromine number. The electrometric titrator was based on a design given in [1].
Sample Information:
- Ethene prepared by catalytic dehydration of ethanol over activated alumina at 350-400°C and analyzed by chromatography. Purity not given.
- Benzene was distilled twice in a laboratory packed column.
Measurement Errors:
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): δx1/x1 = ±3% (Estimated by compiler)

Experimental Data
It was confirmed by personal communication that the solubility's were measured at atmospheric pressure.

(1) Although not specifically stated in the paper, it is assumed that the mole fraction solubility is for a total pressure of 101.325 kPa.
(2) Calculated by compiler; a gas molar volume of 23910 cm3/mole was used at 293.15 K and 101.325 kPa for the calculation of L, and Henry's law was assumed to apply for the calculation of x1.
