- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of water in p-Xylene was reported to 0.022 mol(2) L-1 sln.
The corresponding mass percent and mol fraction, x2, calculated by the compilers are 0.045 g(2)/100 g sln and 0.0027.
The assumption that 1.00 L sln = 857 g sln was used in the calculation.
