T/KMole Fraction x1Mole Fraction x2
311.20.00710.9929
333.40.01560.9844
337.40.01780.9822
341.20.02040.9796
350.80.02790.9721
 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, British Drug Houses, United Kingdom, was passed over an alumina column with benzene as 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.
