 Solubility System: Anthracene with Carbon disulfide

---

Components:
   (1) Anthracene; C14H10; [120-12-7]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Carbon disulfide; CS2; [75-15-0]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail

Original Measurements:
   Doane, E.P.; Drickamer, H.G., J. Phys. Chem. 1955, 59, 454-457.

Variables:
   Temperature = 298 K
   Concentration = Pressure

Prepared By:
   W. E. Acree, Jr.

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
  

Pressure [atm]	Mole Fraction x1	Mole Fraction x2
1	0.0084	0.9916
240	0.0070	0.9930
500	0.0059	0.9941
1000	0.0041	0.9959
2000	0.0027	0.9973
4000	0.0013	0.9987

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Constant temperature bath, analytical balance and high pressure equipment. Excess solute and solvent allowed to equilibrate in a specially designed high pressure cell at constant temperature for 20-24 hours. Known amount of saturated solution removed, solvent evaporated to dryness, and concentration determined  from weight of solid residue.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Purest grade, Eastman Kodak Chemical Company, Rochester, New York, USA, was used as received.
   (2) C.P. Grade, J.T. Baker, was dried over phosphorous pentoxide and distilled.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: x₁: ± 1-3 % at atomospheric pressure, and ± 10 % at the higher pressures.
   Temperature: T/K: precision ± 0.1.
