Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Propylbenzene; C9H12; [103-65-1]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail

Original Measurements:
   Fühner, H., Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1924, 57, 510-15.

Variables:
   Temperature = 15 °C

Prepared By:
   A. Maczynski, Z. Maczynska, and A. Szafranski

Experimental Remarks:

   The solubility of propylbenzene in water at 15°C was reported to be 0.006 g(1)/100 g sln.

The corresponding mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compilers is 9 × 10–6.

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   In a stoppered volumetric cylinder, pipetted volumes or weighed amounts of (1) were added with shaking to 50, 100, or 1000 cm3 (2) until a completely clear solution was no longer obtained at the experimental temperature.
