Conditions:
Room Temp: 273.0 - 325.9 $\pu{K}$
Compiler:
Methodology:
Experimental procedure only marginally described by author. Excess solute and solvent were equilibrated in a constant temperature water bath for between 10-30 minutes. Saturated solution was withdrawn through a coarse filter and analyzed by specific gravity. Author noted that evaporation to dryness and weighing the residue was subject to too much decomposition.
Sample Information:
- Purity not given, Kahlbaum, was recrystallized from alcohol to a melting point temperature of 93.5°C.
- Purity unknown, several sources listed, washed with water, sulfuric acid, dried over calcium chloride and distilled.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: T/K: precision ±0.1.
Mole fraction - Liquid (1): x1: ±8% (relative error, compiler).
System Components:
- Acenaphthene, $\ce{ C12H10 }$; [83-32-9] NIST WebBook
- Trichloromethane, $\ce{ CHCl3 }$; [67-66-3] NIST WebBook
