Evaluation
Quantitative solubility data for chrysene (1) in water (2) have been reported in the publications listed in Table 1. No data have been reported on the solubility of water in chrysene.

The original data is all of these publications are compiled in the Data Sheets immediately following this Critical Evaluation.

With the exception of Klevens (ref 2) value at 298K, which is very much higher than other studies (ref 3,4) and is therefore rejected, all the available data are summarized in Table 2 below. The solubilities are in reasonable agreement although there limited number and temperature range suggests a Tentative classification at this stage.
