Methodology:
The synthetic method was used. Solution of (1) and (2) were prepared by mass from glass syringes in 13 mm x mm Kimax screw cap culture tubes and sealed with a Teflon-faced rubber liner. Tubes were immersed in a 3 L stirred water bath. Two cloud point observations were made visually; one at relatively fast cooling rate, and the second at a slow cooling rate to more precisely determines cloud point temperature.
Sample Information:
- Matheson, Coleman and Bell; practical grade; distilled at 57°C/12.9 kPa.
- Phillips; purity 99 mol%.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±0.1 K.
System Components:
- Nitroethane, $\ce{ C2H5NO2 }$; [79-24-3] NIST WebBook
- Decane, $\ce{ C10H22 }$; [124-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
Solubility of nitroethane (1) in decane (2) at 58.0°C (331.2 K) was reported to be x1 = 0.730 (100 w1 = 58.8, compilers).
