Original Measurements
Paul, M. A.; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1952, 74, 5274-7.
Variables:
Ambient temperature: 25 °C
Salinity: 13 - 64 g(3)/kg sln
Prepared by:
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Equilibration flask: 50-mL glass-stoppered flask. The flask was heated in a hot-water bath until the hydrocarbon was melted, then shaken vigorously while cooling until excess hydrocarbon had recrystallized. The flask was then placed into a water bath thermostatically controlled at 25.00 ± 0.05°C for at least 48 hr, and shaken occasionally during that time. Samples were withdrawn with a 10-ml transfer pipet, diluted appropriately and analyzed using a spectrophotometer in the ultra-violet region of the spectrum.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- recrystallized from methanol (source not specified)
- reagent grade, dried at 120°C before weighing (source not specified)
- redistilled. (source not specified)
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±0.05°C
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±2.6%
