Compilation - Benzene with Water (IUPAC SDS Volume 37)
SDS Volume (227)
Volume 37. Hydrocarbons in Water and Seawater, Part I, p 142
Original Measurements
Connolly, J. F.; J. Chem. Eng. Data 1966, 11, 13-6.
Variables:
Room Temp:
260 - 300
°C
Pressure:
100 - 800 atm
$\pu{atm}$
Prepared by:
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Measurements were carried out in a 100 mL stainless-steel cell. The cell was loaded with 15 g (2) and brought to temperature. Mixing was started and (1) was injected until either a cloud or a small droplet of a second phase appeared at the top of the cell. Then mercury was injected to change pressure, more (1) was injected and the measurement was repeated.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Phillips reagent grade better than 99.8%; used as received.
- distilled and deaerated.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±0.02 K
Pressure: ±2 atm.
Components:
- Benzene, $\ce{ C6H6 }$; [71-43-2] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
