Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The apparatus described in [1] was used without modification. Samples were equilibrated in a constant-temperature water-bath maintained at 25 ± 0.1 °C. Water solubilities were determined by using a Beckman Model KF-3 Aquameter.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- source not specified; certified or reagent grade; distilled through a 30-plate Oldershaw column.
- not specified.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±0.1 K
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±0.0005 mol(2)dm3 sln (type of error not specified)

Experimental Data
The solubility of water in benzene at 25°C was reported to be 0.0349 mol (2)/dm3 sln.
The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x2, calculated by the compilers are 0.0719 g(2)/100 g sln and 3.11 × 10-3.
The compiler's calculation assumes a solution density of 1.00 g mL-1.
