Conditions:
Room Temp: 25 °C

Methodology:
The solubility of (1) in (2) was determined by gas chromatography. The gas chromatograph was hewlett-packard Model 5750 equipped with a hydrogen flame ionization detector. Many details are given in the paper.
Sample Information:
- Phillips Petroleum Co.; research grade; 99.9+%; used as received.
- not specified.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±0.1 K
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±0.0096 g(1) dm-3
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 to be 0.5195 g(1) dm-3.
The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 0.05195 g(1)/100 g sln and 1.015 × 10-4. The compiler's calculations assume a solution density of 1.00 g/mL.
