Original Measurements

McAuliffe, C.; J. Phys. Chem. 1966, 70, 1267-1275.

Variables:

Room Temp: 25 °C

Prepared by:

M.C. Haulait-Pirson

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

In a 250 mL glass bottle, 10-20 mL of (1) was vigorously shaken for 1 hr or magnetically stirred for one day, with 200 mL of [2] at 25 °C. In the case of shaking, the solution was allowed to stand for two days to permit separation of small (1) droplets. Absence of emulsion was checked microscopically. A 50 µL sample of the (1) saturated water was withdrawn with a Hamilton Syringe and injected into the fractionator of the gas chromatograph. A hydrogen-flame ionization detector was used. Many details are given in the paper.

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. Phillips Petroleum or Columbia Chemical; used as received.
2. distilled.

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±1.5 K
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): 9 mg(1)/kg sln (standard deviation from mean)
