Experimental Data

The solubility of water in benzene at 35°C was reported to be 0.0465 mol (2) dm-3 sln.
The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x2, calculated by the compilers are 0.0970 g(2)/100 g sln and 4.19 × 10-3.
The assumption that 1 dm3 sln = 863 g sln was used in the calculation.
