Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Mixtures of (1) in (2) of known composition were shaken for at least 48 hours. The turbidity was then measured with a photometer. Turbidities of several mixture compositions were plotted and the sharp break point taken as the solubility.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Not specified.
- Not specified.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±3°C
Components:
- iso-Propylbenzene, $\ce{ C9H12 }$; [98-82-8] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of cumene in water at 25°C was reported to be 0.017 g(1)/100 g sln.
The corresponding mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler is 2.5 × 10-5.
