Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
A mixture of (1) and (2) was rotated for twenty hours in a constant temperature bath at 25 °C. A sample (5 - 20 mL) of the aqueous phase was withdrawn and extracted with a measured volume of hexane (10 - 50 mL) by shaking in a glass-stoppered Erlenmeyer flask. Next, the absorbance of the hexane phase was measured against a hexane blank on the Beckman spectrophotometer.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- From the State University of Iowa; MP = 120-121°C.
- not specified
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: Not specified.
Components:
- trans-Stilbene, $\ce{ C14H12 }$; [103-30-3] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of (E)-stilbene in water at 25°C was reported to be 2.9 × 10-5 g(1)/100 g sln.
The corresponding mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compilers is 2 × 10-8.
