Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Experimental apparatus and prodecure used similar to those in ref 2.
Toluene stained with 0.1% by weight Sudan IV was added dropwise from a microburet into aqueous salt solution retained in a 1-L dissolution flask which was kept at 25.00° ± 0.01°C in a thermostatically controlled water bath. The aqueous by a magnetic stirring device. Before saturation was reached, the Sudan IV ws precipitated and floated on the surface as a solid. At saturation, the excess toluene appeared as immiscible red liquid droplets suspended in the aqueous solution. To ensure complete saturation, 24 hr was allowed for equilibration.
