 Prepared By:
   M.C. Haulait-Pirson

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of benzene in water at 25 °C was reported to be 1.7795 g(1) dm-3.

The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 0.178 g(1)/100 g sln and 4.11 x 10-4.

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Solubility of (1) in (2) was determined by gas chromatography. The gas chromatograph was Hewlett-Packard Model 5750 equipped with a hydrogen flame ionization detector. Many details were given in the paper.
