Evaluation
The chloroethane (1) and water (2) binary system is treated in two parts; part 1 is chloroethane (1) in water (2) and part 2 is water (2) in chloroethane (1).
Part 1. The solubility of chloroethane (1) in water (2) has been studied by seven groups of workers over the temperature range from 273 to 313 K. The data are in very poor agreement and in the absence of other independent studies it is not possible to determine which values are more reliable. Further studies will be necessary before even tentative values can be nominated. All the available data for the solubility of chloroethane (1) in water (2) are summarized in Table 1.
Part 2. Only the datum of Jenkin and Shorthose8 is available for the solubility of water (2) in chloroethane (1) at 284.15 K; therefore, no critical evaluation is possible. Further studies are required before any value can be recommended.
