Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The analytical method was used. Each two-phase mixture was stirred intensely in a 70 mL equilibrium cell for 2 h and then was allowed to settle for 2 h at 25.00 °C in a thermostated water bath. Two liquid samples in equilibrium were withdrawn with Hamilton syringes and were analyzed by means of a gas chromatograph and an electronic integrator.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Source not specified; guaranteed reagent; not purified.
- Source not specified; not purified; GLC did not detect any appreciable impurities.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±0.01 K.
Composition: ±0.002 mole fractions.
Components:
- Acetonitrile, $\ce{ C2H3N }$; [75-05-8] NIST WebBook
- Octane, $\ce{ C8H18 }$; [111-65-9] NIST WebBook
