Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Mixtures of (1) and (2) were placed in glass-stoppered flasks and shaken occasionally for 3 d in a water bath. The organic phase was analyzed for water content by the Karl Fischer method. The aqueous phase was analyzed interferometrically.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Source not specified; best reagent grade; purified by fractional distillation.
- distilled.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±0.1 K.
Components:
- Nitromethane, $\ce{ CH3NO2 }$; [75-52-5] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
