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:
   Klevens, H.B., J. Phys. Chem. 1950, 54, 283-98.

 Variables:
   Temperature = 25 °C

 Prepared By:
   M.C. Haulait-Pirson

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of benzene in water at 25 °C was reported to be 1.86 g(1) dm-3 sln and 0.0239 mol (1) dm-3 sln.
The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 0.186 g(1)/100 g sln and 4.31 x 10-4.
The assumption that 1.00 dm3 sln = 1.00 kg sln wsa used in this calculation.

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The solubility of (1) in (2) was determined by shaking small amounts of (1) in 1 liter of (2) for as long as three months. Aliquots were removed and concentrations determined by spectrophotometry.
