Variables:
Room Temp: 25 °C

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The solubility of (1) in (2) was determined by shaking small amounts of (1) in 1 L of (2) for as long as three months. Aliquots were removed and concentrations determined by spectra.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Not specified.
- Not specified.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: Not specified.
Components:
- Fluoranthene, $\ce{ C16H10 }$; [206-44-0] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of fluoranthene in water at 25°C was reported to be 2.65 × 10-4 g(1) L-1 and 1.32 × 10-6 mole/L-1. Assuming that 1.00 L sln = 1.00 kg sln the corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 2.65 × 10-5 g(1)/100 g sln and 2.37 × 10-8.
