Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Solubility of (1) in (2) was determined by gas chromatography. The gas chromatograph was Hewlett-Packard Model 5750 equipped with a hydrogen flame ionization detector. Many details were given in the paper.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Phillips petroleum Co., research grade; 99.9+%; used as received.
- not specified.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±0.1 K
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±0.0164 g(1) dm3
Components:
- Benzene, $\ce{ C6H6 }$; [71-43-2] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of benzene in water at 25°C was reported to be 1.7795 g(1) dm-3.
The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 0.178 g(1)/100 g sln and 4.11 × 10-4.
