SDS Volume (457)
Volume 37. Hydrocarbons in Water and Seawater, Part I, p 397
Original Measurements
Variables:
Room Temp: 0 - 50 °C
Prepared by:
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Component (1) was introduced into a thermostatted flask and saturated for 5 hrs. with (2). Next, calcium hydride was added and the evolving hydrogen volume measured and hence the concentration of (2) in (1) was evaluated.
