Notes:
     Binary system shows incomplete solid solution from circa x1 = 0.00 to x1 = 0.15, and from x1 = 0.71 to x1 = 1.00. Tin refers to the temperature at which crystallization begins; Tfin is the temperature at which crystallization of the solid solution concludes.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Melting points and freezing points were obtained by determining temperatures of incipient fusion and complete liquefaction using capillary tube method. Temperature very slowly raised and material observed through a low power microscope.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Obtained from heavy crude oil, and was recrystallized from alcohol before use.
   (2) Obtained from heavy crude oil, and was fractionally recrystallized from alcohol before use.

Estimated Errors:

   Temperature: T/K: precision ± 0.5 (compiler). x1: ± 0.005 (compiler).
