315.60.01300.9870
323.80.01730.9827
332.80.02250.9775
343.40.03150.9685
 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, source and purification procedure not specified.
   (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.
