Original Measurements
Klevens, H. B.; J. Phys. Chem. 1950, 54, 283-98.
Variables:
Room Temp: 25 °C
Prepared by:
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:
- Benz(a)anthracene, $\ce{ C18H12 }$; [56-55-3] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of benz[a]anthracene in water at 25°C ws reported to be 10-5 g(1) L-1 sln and 4.31 × 10-8 mol(1) L-1 sln.
Assuming that 1.00 L sln = 1.00 kg sln the corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 9.83 × 10-7 g(1)/100 g sln and 7.78 × 10-10.
