Components:

(1) Acetonitrile, C₂H₃N; [75-05-8] NIST WebBook
(2) 1-Alcohols (C10-C20), C₁₀H₁₈O - C₂₀H₄₂O; [class-004a] NIST WebBook

Original Measurements

Schmid, H. H. O.; Mangold, H. K.; Lundberg, W. O.; Microchem. J. 9, 134-144 (1965).

Variables:

Ambient temperature: 296 - 347 K

Prepared by:

N.V. Sazonov, V.P. Sazonov

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

The synthetic method was used. A Reichert microscope, type RCH, equipped with a heating stage was used as described elsewhere.¹ The disappearance and reappearance of the interface between (1) and (2) could be observed without difficulty.

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. Baker Chemical Co.; reagent No. 9011; n(20°C, D) = 1.3445, d(20°C, 4°C) = 0.780.
2. Some alcohols obtained from the Hormel Institute and from Lachat Chemicals; all other alcohols prepared by reduction of the corresponding methyl esters with lithium aluminum hydride; purified by gas-liquid partition chromatography.

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±0.5 K.
