Original Measurements:
Sutton, C.; Calder, J.A., J. Chem. Eng. Data 1975, 20, 320-2.
Variables:
Temperature = 25.0 °C
pH = One salinity: 34.5 g salts/kg sln
Concentration = One salinity: 34.5 g salts/kg sln
Prepared By:
M. Kleinschmidt
Experimental Remarks:
The solubility of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene in artificial seawater is reported to be 39.6 mg(1)/kg sln. The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction,

assuming the artificial seawater composition of ref 1.
Experimental Data:
(Notes on the Nomenclature)
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
A test tube containing (1) was placed in a flask containing (2) thus allowing for equilibration through the vapor phase. The saturated solution was extracted with hexane and analyzed by gas chromatography.
Source and Purity of Materials:
(1) from either Aldrich Chemical Co. or Matheson Coleman and Bell, 99+% pure.
(2) made from doubly distilled water and salts 99+% pure.
Estimated Errors:
Solubility: 0.5 (std. Dev.)
Temperature: ± 0.1°C
