Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Propylbenzene with Water
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:
   Stearns, R.S.; Oppenheimer, H.; Simon, E.; Harkins, W.D., J. Chem. Phys. 1947, 15, 496-507.

 Variables:
   Temperature = 25 °C

 Prepared By:
   A. Maczynski and D. Shaw

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of propylbenzene in water at 25°C was reported to be 0.012 g(1)/100 g sln.

The corresponding mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler is 1.8 × 10–5.

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Mixtures of (1) in (2) of known composition were shaken for at least 48 hours. The turbidity was then measured with a photometer. Turbidities of several mixture compositions were plotted and the sharp break point taken as the solubility.
