SDS Volume (768)
Volume 38. Hydrocarbons in Water and Seawater, Part II, p None
Original Measurements
Variables:
Room Temp: 10 - 30 °C
Prepared by:
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Component (1) was introduced into a thermostatted flask and saturated for 5 hrs. with (2). Next, calcium hydride was added and the evolving hydrogen volume measured and hence the concentration of (2) in (1) was evaluated.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Not specified.
- not specified.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: Not specified.
Components:
- tert-Butylbenzene, $\ce{ C10H14 }$; [98-06-6] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
