Solubility System: Benzene with Water
Components:

(1) Benzene, C6H6; [71-43-2] NIST WebBook
(2) Water, H2O; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook

Original Measurements

Taha, A. A.; Grigsby, R. D.; Johnson, J. R.; Christian, S. D.; Affsprung, H. E.; J. Chem. Educ. 1966, 43, 432-5.

Variables:

Ambient temperature: One temperature: 25 °C

Prepared by:

G.T. Hefter

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

Solubility of (1) in (2) was determined from vapor pressure measurements. 190 mL of pure water were placed in a glass manometric apparatus of known vapor volume. The apparatus is described in detail in the paper. The apparatus was evacuated, benzene added (probably as a liquid), and the pressure measured.

Source and Purity of Materials:
  1. Source and purity not specified.
  2. Pure; purity not specified.
Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: not specified.

Experimental Values:
Note: The solubility of benzene in water at 25°C was reported as 0.022 mol/L sln. The corresponding mass per cent and mole fraction solubility, x1, calculated by the compiler are, assuming a solution density of 1.00 kg L-1, 0.16 g(1)/100 g sln and 4.0 × 10-4 respectively.
