Original Measurements:
Narasimhan, S.; Natarajan, G.S.; Nageshwar, G.D., Indian J. Technol. 1981, 19, 298-299.
Variables:
Temperature = 293.15 K, 298.15 K
Pressure = 293.15 K, 298.15 K
Prepared By:
W. Hayduk
Experimental Remarks:
Gas molar volumes of 23910, and 24330 cm
3
/mole were used for the temperatures 293.15 K, and 298.15 K, respectively, and for a pressure of 101.325 kPa when calculating
L
.
It was confirmed by private communication with Dr. Nageshwar that
x
was for a
total
pressure of one atmosphere.

Notes:
1
Calculated by compiler. It is assumed that the mole fraction solubility,
x
, as originally given, is for a total pressure of 101.325 kPa although not specifically so stated in the paper. The mole fraction solubility is calculated for a partial pressure of 101.325 kPa.
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The solvent was held in a jacketed burette. Constant temperature water was circulated through the jacket. Gas was bubbled through the solvent until saturated. The dissolved gas content was determined by an electrometric dead-stop titration technique which yielded the bromine number. The electrometric titrator was based on a design given in Ref. 1.
Source and Purity of Materials:
1. Ethene prepared by catalytic dehydration of ethanol over activated alumina at 350-400°C and analyzed by chromatography. Purity not given.
2. 1-Butanol was treated for the removal of aldehydes and ketones and then distilled twice in a packed column.
