Original Measurements
McLaughlin, E.; Zainal, H. A.; J. Chem. Soc. 1960, 3854-3857.
Variables:
Room Temp: Temperature $\pu{K}$
Prepared by:
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
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 same temperature at which the last trace of solid solute disappeared.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Purity not given, British Drug Houses, United Kingdom, was passed over an alumina column with benzene as eluant.
- Purity, source and purification method was not specified.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: T/K: precision ±0.1. x1: ±0.0003 (compiler).
Components:
- Phenanthrene, $\ce{ C14H10 }$; [85-01-8] NIST WebBook
- Cyclohexane, $\ce{ C6H12 }$; [110-82-7] NIST WebBook
