Conditions:
Room Temp: 25 °C

Methodology:
The solubility was determined at laboratory temperatures by use of screw-cap test tubes. The (1) phase floated on top of the water and insured saturation of the (2) phase in 2 to four days. Analyses were carried out by GSC using a Hewlett-Packard model 5751 gas chromatograph with dual-flame ionization detectors. Many details are given in the paper.
Sample Information:
- Phillips Petroleum Company; Chemical Samples Company or Aldrich Chemical Company; 99+%.
- Distilled.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±1°C
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±2.0 mg(1)/kg(2)
System Components:
- 1,3-Dimethylbenzene, $\ce{ C8H10 }$; [108-38-3] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of m-Xylene in water at 25°C and at system pressure was reported to be 134.0 mg(1)/kg(2). The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 0.0134 g(1)/100 g sln and 2.27 × 10-5.
