Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Anthracene with Seawater
Components:
   (1) Anthracene; C14H10; [120-12-7]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Seawater; ; []  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Evaluator:
   D.G. Shaw, Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, Alaska USA. December 1982.

 Critical Evaluation:
   The solubility of anthracene (1) in seawater (2) at 298 K has been reported in two works:

The reported data are from different salinities which preclude direct comparison. Since the data appear consistent with each other and with the tentative value for the solubility of anthracene in pure water, the data of Schwarz, and May et al. are adopted as tentative. Schwarz also reports data over the temperature range 281-303 K.
