Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Biphenyl with Methylcyclohexane
Components:
   (1) Methylcyclohexane; C7H14; [108-87-2]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Biphenyl; C12H10; [92-52-4]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Chang, W., Ph.D Dissertation, North Dakota State University, North Dakota, USA (1969).

 Variables:
   Temperature = 298 K

 Prepared By:
   W. E. Acree, Jr.

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
  
t/°CMole Fraction x1Mole Fraction x2
25.00.1830.817
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Constant temperature bath and a precision thermometer. Mixtures of known concentrations sealed in glass ampoules and placed in constant temperature to equilibrate. Samples were rotated while bath temperature slowly increased. Solubility determined by noting the  temperature at which the last trace of solid solute disappeared. Solubilities at 298 K interpolated from experimental values using in x1 versus 1/T graph.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Purity, source and purification procedures not specified.
   (2) Reagent Grade, Eastman Organic Chemical Company, USA, was used as received.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: x1: ± 2 % (relative error; compiler).
   Temperature: T/K: precision ± 0.1.
