Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The solubility of (1) in (2) was determined by titration. The solubility of (2) in (1) was determined by Clifford's method [1]. Dried air was passed through the vessel with a saturated solution of (2) in (1) and U-tubes with $\ce{CaCl2}$ and next absorbed (2) was weighed.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Source not specified; BP = 79.8°C at 740 mm Hg, $d_{4}^{22}$ = 0.8768, $d_{4}^{10}$ = 0.8887.
- Not specified.
Estimated Errors:
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): see experimental values above.
