The solubility of bromochloromethane (1) in water (2) has been studied by three workers, whereas the solubility of water (2) in bromochloromethane (1) has been reported in one paper only.

Part 1. The solubility of bromochloromethane (1) in water (2) has been studied by three workers. The experimental data of Tewari et al. (ref. 1) and Miller et al. (ref. 2) are in excellent agreement and the mass per cent (1) value of 1.646 at 298.15 K is recommended. In both cases the modified generator column method was used, but the analytical method was more advanced in the latter case. (For a comparison, see the two compilation sheets.) The single mass per cent (1) data point of 1.5 g(1)/100 g soln. at 293.15 K, reported by O'Connell (ref. 3) is considered as tentative. Whether the solubilities at 293.15 and 298.15 K are consistent with the general trend of temperature dependence remains to be investigated.

Part 2. The solubility of water (2) in bromochloromethane (1) has been reported in only one paper, that of O'Connell (ref. 3) and there are no other measurements for comparison. Therefore, it is not possible to perform a critical evaluation. The readers are referred to the compilation sheet for further details.
