Conditions:
Room Temp: 25 °C
Compilers:
Methodology:
Equilibration of (1) and (2) was allowed to take place for at least two days. The organic phase was analyzed for water by the Karl Fischer method.
Sample Information:
- source not specified; free from thiophene; used as received.
- not specified.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±0.05 K
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): 0.0002 mol(2) dm-3 (mean deviation from duplicate determinations)
System Components:
- Benzene, $\ce{ C6H6 }$; [71-43-2] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of water in benzene at 25°C was reported to be 0.0347 mol (2) dm-3 sln.
The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x2, calculated by the compilers are 0.0715 g(2)/100 and 3.09 × 10-3. The assumption that 1 dm3 sln = 874 g sln was used in the calculation.
