Original Measurements

Riccardi, R.; Franzosini, P.; Rolla, M.; Z. Naturforsch. A 23, 1816-8 (1968).

Variables:

Room Temp: 362 - 375 $\pu{K}$

Prepared by:

V.P. Sazonov

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

The synthetic method [1] was used. Tubes were filled under vacuum with known masses of degassed and moisture-free components, sealed, and then placed in a thermostat bath filled with paraffin oil. The mixtures in the tubes were shaken by a Chemap vibromixer type E-1. Temperatures were measured with Degussa $\ce{Pt}$ resistance thermometers, which were checked against standards. Phase changes (cloud points) were observed as mixtures were cooled.

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. Fluka AG; purity 99 mole%; fractionally distilled, degassed and finally distilled through a $\ce{P2O5}$ filled tube.
2. Fluka AG; purity 99 mole%; purification as above.

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: reproduced better than 0.1K.
