Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Acenaphthene with Methanol
Components:
   (1) Methanol; CH4O; [67-56-1]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Acenaphthene; C12H10; [83-32-9]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Speyers, C.L., Am. J. Sci. 1902, 14, 293-302.

 Variables:

T/KMole Fraction x1Mole Fraction x2

 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Experimental procedure only marginally described by author. Excess solute and solvent were equilibrated in a constant temperature water bath for between 10-30 minutes. Saturated solution was withdrawn through a coarse filter and analyzed by specific gravity. Author noted that evaporation to dryness and weighing the residue  was subject to too much decomposition.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Purity not given, Kahlbaum, was recrystallized from alcohol to a melting point temperature of 93.5 °C.
   (2) Marked “Acetonfrei”, from Kahlbaum dried over calcium oxide and distilled before use.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: x1: ± 8 % (relative error, compiler).
   Temperature: T/K: precision ± 0.1.
