Conditions:
Room Temp: 25 °C
Compiler:
Methodology:
The apparatus used is described in detail in [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 After solubility equilibrium was attained an aliquot of the saturated aqueous solution was withdrawn and analyzed by solvent extraction - UV spectrophotometry.
Sample Information:
- Analytical reagent grade source and purity not stated, used without further purification.
- Deioized and redistilled; no further details given
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: 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 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.
