Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Saturated solutions of tritum labeled (2) in (1) were prepared in two ways. In the first, nitrogen was passed throught the vessel with (2) and next through the vessel with (1) and frozen. In the second, about 500 mL of (1) and 1 mL (2) were stirred. The concentration of (2) in (1) was calculated from scintillation measurements.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Source not specified; pure grade; shaken with conc. $\ce{H2SO4}$ + $\ce{HNO3}$; washed with water, dried over sodium, and distilled; purity not specified. BP = 80.82°C.
- Source not specified; commercial; 1 Ci/mL HTO used as received.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: Not specified.
Components:
- Cyclohexane, $\ce{ C6H12 }$; [110-82-7] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of water in cyclohexane at 20°C was reported to be 0.0098 g (2)/100 g sln.
The corresponding mole fraction, x2 calculated by the compiler is 4.6 × 10-4.
