Conditions:
Room Temp: 308.1 - 351.9 $\pu{K}$
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 noting the temperature at which the last trace of solid solute disappeared.
Sample Information:
- 99.2%, Aldrich Chemical Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, was passed over an activated alumina column and then recrystallized from solution.
- 99.6+%, Aldrich Chemical Company, was stored over molecular sieves to remove trace water.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: T/K: precision ±0.1.
Mole fraction - Liquid (1): x1: ±0.0003.
System Components:
- Acenaphthene, $\ce{ C12H10 }$; [83-32-9] NIST WebBook
- 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydronaphthalene, $\ce{ C10H12 }$; [119-64-2] NIST WebBook
