Original Measurements

Hankinson, R. W.; Thompson, D.; J. Chem. Eng. Data 10, 18-9 (1965).

Variables:

Temperature: 298 and 303 $\pu{K}$

Prepared by:

M.F. Chernysheva, V.P. Sazonov

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

Two methods were used. The solubility data were determined by a modification of the 'cloud point' method described in Othmer, et al. [1]. 20 mL mixtures of (2) and (3) were placed in flasks, sealed and immersed in a constant temperature bath for approximately four hours. Each container in turn was opened, and the contents titrated from calibrated burettes with of (1). The (1)-rich portion of the solubility curve was obtained by reversing the procedure. The vessel containing the titrated mixture was continually agitated in a constant temperature bath. The equilibrium data were determined by the synthetic method described in Othmer, et al. [1]. Solutions consisting of all three components were made. These two-phase mixtures were then sealed in polyethylene containers and placed in the constant temperature bath. Each container was removed from the constant temperature bath, then the two phases were separated, and the refractive index of each phase was determined.
