Conditions:
Room Temp: 25 °C
Compilers:
M.C. Haulait-Pirson, G.T. Hefter
Methodology:
10 mL portions of (2) are pipetted into glass vials, following which, varying amounts of (1) were added to each bottle by direct weighing. The vials were shaken overnight. When two vials had been obtained, one clear and one with excess hyrocarbon and containing amounts differing by less than 1 mg, the two values were averaged and the mean taken as the amount solubilized.
Sample Information:
- C.P. grade.
- Distilled and boiled to remove $\ce{CO2}$.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: Not specified.
System Components:
- Benzene, $\ce{ C6H6 }$; [71-43-2] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of benzene in water at 25°C was reported to be 0.151 g(1)/100 mL sln.
The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction solubilites, calculated by the compilers assuming a solution density of 1.00 kg dm-3, are 0.151 g(1)/100 g sln and x1 = 3.48 × 10-4.
