Components:

(1) 1,3-Dibromobenzene, C₆H₄Br₂; [108-36-1] NIST WebBook
(2) Water, H₂O; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook

Original Measurements

Hine, J.; Haworth, H. W.; Ramsay, O. B.; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1963, 85(10), 1473-6.

Variables:

Ambient temperature: One temperature

Prepared by:

A.L. Horvath

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

An excess of 1,3-dibromobenzene was added to a 4 ml of water in an ampoule which was then sealed. The sealed ampoule was rotated in a constant temperature water bath for a week to establish saturation. The 1,3-dibromobenzene solubility was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometric measurements using a Beckman DU spectrophotometer.

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. Eastman Kodak Co., redistilled before use.
2. not specified.

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±0.1 K.
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±5.6% S.D.
