Methodology:
The method consisted of preparing serial dilutions of a suspension of [1] in [2] and determining nephelometrically the amount of [1] per unit volume beyond which further dilution caused no reduction in light scattering, which remained equal to that of pure [2]. A Bausch and Lomb Dubosque colorimeter model 100-mm was employed. Many details are reported in [1].
Sample Information:
- Eastman Kodak Company, 599; MP range 100.0-100.9°C; used as received; [2].
- Dust-free.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±3°C
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±0.05 × 10-3 g(1) dm-3 (2)

Experimental Data
The best value recommended by the authors is 1.60× 10-3 g(1) L-1 (2).
Assuming that 1.00 L sln = 1.00 kg sln, the corresponding mass percent and mole fraction calculated by the compiler are 1.60 × 10-4 g(1)/100 g sln and 1.62 × 10-7.
