Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
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].
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Prepared at Harvard University; MP = 110.0-110.7°C (cf. [2]).
- Dust-free.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±3°C
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): See above.

Experimental Data
The best value recommended by the authors is 2.4 × 10-4 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 2.40 × 10-5 g(1)/100 g sln and 2.15 × 10-8.
