Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Dibenz[a,h]anthracene with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Dibenz[a,h]anthracene; C22H14; [58-70-3]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Evaluator:
   G.T. Hefter, School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Murdoch University, Perth, W.A., Australia. June 1986.

 Critical Evaluation:
   Quantitative solubility data for dibenz[a,h]anthracene (1) in water (2) have been reported in the publications listed in Table 1. No data are available for the solubility of water in dibenz[a,h]anthracene.

The original data and related information in both of these publications are compiled in the Data Sheets immediately following this Critical Evaluation. The data are also summarized in Table 2 below. The two reported values, although obtained at slightly different temperatures, are in excellent agreement. Nevertheless there are insufficient data and the system is insufficiently well-characterized to justify a higher than Tentative classification.
