Methodology:
The water determination was carried out according to Johansson's modification of the Karl Fischer titration described in [1,2].
Sample Information:
- Fluka; 0.3% of ethylbenzene, 0.03% of o-Xylene; purity 99.6%; used as received.
- not specified
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±0.03°C
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±0.001 mol(2) L-1 sln (type of error not specified)

System Components:

- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of water in m-Xylene was reported to be 0.021 mol (2) L-1 sln.
The corresponding mass percent and mol fraction, x2, calculated by the compilers are 0.044 g(2)/100 g sln and 0.0026.
The assumption that 1.00 L sln = 860 g sln was used in the calculation.
