Components:

(1) Bromobenzene, C₆H₅Br; [108-86-1] NIST WebBook
(2) Water, H₂O; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook

Original Measurements

Hine, J.; Haworth, H. W.; Ramsay, O. B.; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1963, 85(10), 1473-6.

Variables:

Ambient temperature: One temperature

Prepared by:

A.L. Horvath

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

An excess of bromobenzene was combined with 4 ml of water in an ampoule and sealed. The sealed ampoule was then rotated in a water bath for a week. The bromobenzene solubility was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometric measurements using a Beckman DU spectrophotometer.

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. Eastman Kodak Co., redistilled before use.
2. not specified.

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±0.1 K.
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±2% S.D.
