Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Anthracene with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Anthracene; C14H10; [120-12-7]  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 anthracene in water at 25°C was reported to be 7.5 × 10–5 g(1) dm–3 sln and 4.47 × 10–7 mol(1) dm–3 sln. Assuming that 1.00 dm3 sln = 1.00 dm3 sln the corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 7.5 × 10–6 g(1)/100 g sln and 8.07 × 10–9.

 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 spectra.
