Room Temp: 25 °C

Methodology:
A method for measuring the solubility of (2) in (1) was based on the use of tritium tracer to monitor the recovery of (2) in a conventional gravimetric method and to measure tritum distribution between the aqueous and the organic phases.
Sample Information:
- source not specified; thiophene free regent; recrystallized three times.
- HTO at 5 Ci/mL, New England Corp.; diluted to about 1 mCi/mL.
Measurement Errors:
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): better than 1% (type of error not specified).
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 x2 = 3.23 × 10-3 and 0.0363 mol (2) dm-3 sln.
The corresponding mass percent value calculated by the compilers is 0.0747 g(2)/100 g sln.
