 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
  
T/KMole Fraction x1Mole Fraction x2
303.80.18150.8185
314.60.25400.7460
336.40.47310.5269
342.60.55520.4448
 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 specified, Gesellschaft fur Teerverwertung, passed over an alumina column with benzene 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.
