Conditions:
Room Temp: 307.95 - 333.15 $\pu{K}$
Compiler:
Methodology:
Constant temperature bath and a precision thermometer. Mixtures of known concentrations sealed in glass ampoules and placed in constant temperature to equilibrate. Samples were rotated while bath temperature slowly increased. Solubility determined by visual noting the temperature at which the last trace of solid solute appeared.
Sample Information:
- 99.6%, Eastman Kodak Chemical Company, Rochester, New York, USA, was passed over activated alumina and recrystallized from toluene.
- Gold Label, 99.9%, Aldrich Chemical Company, was used as received.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: T/K: precision ±0.1.
Mole fraction - Liquid (1): x1: ±0.0003.
System Components:
- Biphenyl, $\ce{ C12H10 }$; [92-52-4] NIST WebBook
- Benzene, $\ce{ C6H6 }$; [71-43-2] NIST WebBook
