Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Benzene with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Benzene; C6H6; [71-43-2]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Taha, A.A.; Grigsby, R.D.; Johnson, J.R.; Christian, S.D.; Affsprung, H.E., J. Chem. Educ. 1966, 43, 432-5.

 Variables:
   Temperature = One temperature: 25 °C

 Prepared By:
   G.T. Hefter

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of benzene in water at 25 °C was reported as 0.022 mol/L sln. The corresponding mass per cent and mole fraction solubility, x1, calculated by the compiler are, assuming a solution density of 1.00 kg L-1, 0.16 g(1)/100 g sln and 4.0 x 10-4 respectively.

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Solubility of (1) in (2) was determined from vapor pressure measurements. 190 mL of pure water were placed in a glass manometric apparatus of known vapor volume. The apparatus is described in detail in the paper. The apparatus was evacuated, benzene added (probably as a liquid), and the pressure measured.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Source and purity not specified.
   (2) Pure; purity not specified.
