Volume 59. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Binary Non-aqueous Systems, Part II Solutes F-Z, p None
Original Measurements
Doane, E. P.; Drickamer, H. G.; J. Phys. Chem. 1955, 59, 454-457.
Variables:
Room Temp:
298
$\pu{K}$
Pressure
Prepared by:
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Constant temperature bath, analytical balance and high pressure equipment.
Excess solute and solvent allowed to equilibrate in a specially designed high pressure cell at constant temperature for 20-24 hours. Known amount of saturated solution removed, solvent evaporated to dryness, and concentration determined from weight of solid residue.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Purest grade, Eastman Kodak Chemical Company, Rochester, New York, USA, was used as received.
- Pure grade, Phillips Petroleum, was dried over phosphorous pentoxide and distilled.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: T/K: ±precision 0.1. x1: ±1-3% at atmospheric pressure, and ±10% at the higher pressures.
Components:
- Phenanthrene, $\ce{ C14H10 }$; [85-01-8] NIST WebBook
- Octane, $\ce{ C8H18 }$; [111-65-9] NIST WebBook
