(2) Water, H₂O; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook

Original Measurements

Milligan, L. H.; J. Phys. Chem. 1924, 28, 494-7.

Variables:

Ambient temperature: One temperature: 25 °C

Prepared by:

G.T. Hefter

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

20 cm³ of benzene/air vapor were introduced into a glass cell, containing 120 cm³ of air-saturated distilled water in a thermostatted water bath. The apparatus was removed from the bath and shaken for two minutes to bring about equilibrium. Benzene solubility in water was determined by analysis of the vapor by combustion in a Haldane apparatus before and after equilibration.

Source and Purity of Materials:
