Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Toluene with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Toluene; C7H8; [108-88-3]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Mackay, D.; Shiu, W.Y., Can. J. Chem. Eng. 1975, 53, 239-42.

 Variables:
   Temperature = One temperature: 25 °C

 Prepared By:
   M.C. Haulait-Pirson

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of toluene in water at 25 °C was reported to be 0.5195 g(1) dm-3.
The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 0.05195 g(1)/100 g sln and 1.015 x 10-4. The compiler's calculations assume a solution density of 1.00 g/mL.

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The 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 are given in the paper.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Phillips Petroleum Co.; research grade; 99.9+%; used as received.
   (2) not specified.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 0.0096 g(1) dm-3
   Temperature: ± 0.1 K
