t/°CMole Fraction x1Mole Fraction x2
25.00.02350.9765
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Constant temperature bath, thermometer, and an ultraviolet spectrophotometer.
Excess solute and solvent placed in closed glass bottles, mixed at room temperature for 24 hours on magnetic stirrers and temperature equilibrated for an additional 24 hours in a constant temperature water bath. After equilibrium was obtained aliquots of saturated solution were removed and  diluted quantitatively for spectrophotometric analysis at 254 nm.
