Volume 59. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Binary Non-aqueous Systems, Part II Solutes F-Z, p None
Original Measurements
Zvaignze, A. I.; Acree Jr., W. E.; J. Chem. Eng. Data 1993, 38, 393-395.
Variables:
Room Temp: 299 $\pu{K}$
Prepared by:
W.E. Acree, Jr., A.I. Zvaigzne
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Constant temperature bath, calorimetric thermometer, and an ultraviolet/visible spectrophotometer.
Binary solvent mixtures were prepared by weight. Excess solute and solvent placed in amber glass bottles and allowed to equilibrate for several days at constant temperature. Attainment of equilibrium was verified by several repetitive measurements and by approaching equilibrium from supersaturation. Aliquots of saturated solutions transferred through a coarse filter into tared volumetric flasks, weighed and diluted with methanol. Concentrations determined spectrophotometrically at 372 nm.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- 99%, Aldrich Chemical Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, recrystallized three times from absolute ethanol.
- 99.9+%, Aldrich Chemical Company.
- 99+%, anhydrous, Aldrich Chemical Company. Components (2) and (3) were stored over molecular sieves and distilled shortly before use.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: T/K: ±0.05. x3(s): ±0.0001. x1: 1.5% (relative error).
Components:
- Pyrene, $\ce{ C16H10 }$; [129-00-0] NIST WebBook
- Hexane, $\ce{ C6H14 }$; [110-54-3] NIST WebBook
- 2-Propanol, $\ce{ C3H8O }$; [67-63-0] NIST WebBook
