Notes:
   1  Calculated by compilers.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Single pass flow apparatus. Ethene allowed to flow through solvent for 3 to 5 hours. Liquid sample withdrawn and analysed by stripping out ethene and measuring amount volumetrically. Solvent in sample estimated gravimetrically.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   1. Purity 99.93 mole per cent.
   2. Boiling point 80 °C; melting point 54 °C
d420 = 0.8796; nD20 = 1.5010.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: δxC2H4 = ± 0.001 (estimated by compiler)
   Temperature: δT/K = ± 0.5 (estimated by compiler)
   Pressure: δP/105Pa = ±0.1 (estimated by compiler)
