Clever, H. L.; Pirkle Jr., Q. R.; Allen Jr., B. J.; Derrick, M. E.; J. Chem. Eng. Data 17, 31-4 (1972).

Variables:

Room Temp: 230 - 257 $\pu{K}$

Prepared by:

V.P. Sazonov

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

The synthetic method was used. Solutions of (1) and (2) were sealed in 5 mL glass vials. Cloud points were observed visually in an acetone bath slowly cooled by addition of dry ice. Temperatures were taken on an alcohol thermometer.

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. Fisher; reagent grade; distilled at 60°C at 24.4 kPa.
2. Eastman; practical grade; dried over $\ce{CaSO4}$ and distilled once from $\ce{CaH2}$ and second time from over sodium at 79°C/5.6 kPa.

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±3 K.
