Methodology:
A known volume of water, typically 50 mL, was placed in a stoppered Babcock tube having a neck graduated from 0 to 1.6 mL in steps of 0.02 mL. An excess of solute was added and the mixture allowed to come to equilibrium in a constant temperature bath then centrifuged. The amount of solute dissolved was determined by subtracting the undissolved solue, measured directly in the tube, from the total added.
Sample Information:
- "Highest grade commercial sample available"; no other details given.
- Distilled.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: Not specified.
System Components:
- Toluene, $\ce{ C7H8 }$; [108-88-3] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of toluene in water at 25°C was reported tobe 0.045 mL (1)/100 mL (2).
The solubility of (1) in 40.0% (w/w?) aqueous sodium xylenesulfonate solution was also reported to be 1.20 mL (1)/100 mL sulfonate sln.
