Components:

(1) Naphthalene, C₁₀H₈; [91-20-3] NIST WebBook
(2) 2,2-Dimethyloxetane, C₅H₁₀O; [6245-99-4] NIST WebBook

Original Measurements

Bennett, G. M.; Philip, W. G.; J. Chem. Soc. 1928, 1937-42.

Variables:

Ambient temperature: Temperature

Prepared by:

W.E. Acree, Jr.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

Constant temperature bath and a precision thermometer.
Mixtures of known concentrations sealed in glass tubes 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 disappeared. Measurements repeated several times to verify results.

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. Purity and chemical source was not specified in paper.
2. Synthesized by authors, was purified by distillation.

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: T/K: precision ±0.1. x₁: ±0.0001. (compiler).
