Components:

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

Original Measurements

Sanemasa, I.; Arakawa, S.; Araki, M.; Deguchi, T.; Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. 1984, 57, 1539-44.

Variables:

Ambient temperature: One temperature: 25 °C

Prepared by:

G.T. Hefter

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

The apparatus used is described in detail in ref 1. The method involves the introduction of solute vapor (1) into liquid (2) by bubbling air through liquid (1) using a recirculating pump in a closed system. After solubility equilibrium was attained an aliquot of the saturated aqueous solution was withdrawn and analyzed by solvent extraction - UV spectrophotometry.

Source and Purity of Materials:
  1. Analytical reagent grade source and purity not stated, used without further purification.
  2. Deioized and redistilled; no further details given
Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: not specified.

Experimental Values:
Note: The solubility of benzene in water at 25°C was reported to be 2.07 × 10-2 mol (1)/dm 3 sln. Assuming a solution density of 1.00 kg/dm3 this corresponds to a solubility of 0.162 g(1)/100 g sln, x1 = 3.73 × 10-4, calculated by the compiler.
