Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: sec-Butylbenzene with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) sec-Butylbenzene; C10H14; [135-98-8]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Evaluator:
   A. Maczynski, Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warszawa, Poland. November 1981.

 Critical Evaluation:
   The solubility of sec-butylbenzene (1) water (2) has been reported in three works listed below.

The data of Andrews and Keefer seem to be high. The mean value of the remaining data is tentative.

The solubility of water (2) in sec-butylbenzene (1) has been reported in one work listed below:

Since these data are from one source only, they are regarded as tentative.
