Solubility System: Butylbenzene with Artificial seawater
Components:

(1) Butylbenzene, C10H14; [104-51-8] NIST WebBook
(2) Seawater, H2O; [7732-18-5(C)] NIST WebBook

Original Measurements

Sutton, C.; Calder, J. A.; J. Chem. Eng. Data 1975, 20, 320-2.

Variables:

Ambient temperature: 25.0 °C
One salinity: 34.5 g salts/kg sln

Prepared by:

M. Kleinschmidt, W.Y. Shiu

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

A test tube containing (1) was placed in a flask containing (2) thus allowing for equilibration through the vapor phase. The saturated solution was extracted with hexane and analyzed by gas chromatography.

Source and Purity of Materials:
  1. From either Aldrich Chemical Co. or Matheson Coleman and Bell, 99+% pure.
  2. made from doubly distilled water and salts 99+% pure.
Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±0.1°C
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): 0.07 (std. dev.)

Experimental Values:
Note: The solubility of butylbenzene in artificial seawater is reported to be 7.09 mg(1)/kg sln. The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1 calculated by the compiler are 7.09 × 10-4 g(1)/kg sln and 9.76 × 10-7 assuming the artificial seawater composition of ref 1.
