Conditions:
Room Temp: 25 °C
Compilers:
Methodology:
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.
Sample Information:
- Not specified.
- not specified.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±3°C
System Components:
- Propylbenzene, $\ce{ C9H12 }$; [103-65-1] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of propylbenzene in water at 25°C was reported to be 0.012 g(1)/100 g sln.
The corresponding mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler is 1.8 × 10-5.
