Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The apparatus used is described in detail in [1]. The method involves the introduction of solute vapor (1) into liquid (2) by bubbling air through liquid (1) using a recirculating pump in a closed system. After solubility equilibrium was attained an aliquot of the saturated aqueous solution was withdrawn and analyzed by solvent extraction - UV spectrophotometry.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Analytical reagent grade source and purity not stated, used without further purification.
- Deionized and redistilled; no further details given.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: Not specified.

Experimental Data
The solubility of propylbenzene in water at 25°C was reported to be 3.76 × 10-4 mol (1)/dm3 sln. Assuming a solution density of 1.00 kg/dm3 this corresponds to a solubility of 4.52 × 10-3 g(1)/100 g sln, x1 = 6.78 × 10-6, calculated by the compiler.
