Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

Stoppered Babcock tubes with neck graduated from 0 to 1.6 mL in steps of 0.02 mL were used. A known volume of (2) (generally 50 mL) was added to the tube in a constant­ temperature water bath and weighed quantities of (1) were added to this solution. Then the mixture was separated by gentle rotation. After this treatment, the volume was determined directly.

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. Source not specified; CP or highest commercial grade ; used as received.
2. Distilled.

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±0.1 K at 25 °C
Solubility: ±0.1 mL(1)/100 mL(2)
