The solubility of 2-bromopropane (1) in water (2) has been studied by three work groups; whereas, the solubility of water (2) in 2-bromopropane (1) has not been investigated yet. The temperature dependence of the solubility between 273 and 303 K was reported in only one paper.1
The datum of Fühner2 is 10 per cent lower than that of Rex1 and of van Arkel and Vles.3 Not enough workers have measured the solubility of 2-bromopropane in water over common temperature ranges to provide a basis for recommend solubility values. The solubility data of Rex1 are believed to be more reliable than the other data because Rex made measurements at more than one temperature. All the results are considered to be tentative, but the data of Rex1 are preferred by the evaluator. The tentative solubility values for this system in weight percent and mole fraction are given in Table 16 at 10 K intervals.
