Variables:
Ambient temperature: 461 K
Pressure: 0.26 - 1.9 MPa (2.6 - 19 atm)
Prepared by:
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The equipment and a manometrical procedure for solubility measurements were similar to those of Lundberg et al.1
Source and Purity of Materials:
- PMMA (Lucite) used is a product of du Pont de Nemours Co.: ρ = 1.20 g/cm3.
Gases from Air Reduction Co., had a minimum purity: CO2 - 99.5%; N2 - 99.90%; Ar - 99.997%; He - 99.99%.
Gases (Matheson Co), included as impurities: Ne-14 ppm He, Kr-12 ppm N2 and 23 ppm Xe.
Estimated Errors:
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): δC/C ≤ 8%.
