T/KMole Fraction x1Mole Fraction x2
308.80.00210.9979
319.00.00320.9968
333.80.00520.9948
345.40.00790.9921
 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.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Purity not given, Gesellschaft fur Teerverwertung, was passed over an alumina column with toluene eluant.
   (2) "AnalaR", was dried over sodium wire and freshly distilled before use.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: x1: ± 0.0003 (compiler).
   Temperature: T/K: precision ± 0.1.
