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

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 dibenz[a.h]anthracene in water at 25°C was reported to be 2.15 × 10–9 mol(1) L–1 sln.

With the assumption that 1.00 L sln = 1.00 kg sln, the corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 5.84 × 10–8 g(1)/100 g sln and 3.88 × 10–11.

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.
