t/°C102 * Mass Fraction w1 (compiler) 104 * Mole Fraction x1 (compiler)n1/V2 [mol m**-3]
156.64 x 10-35.665.9+/-0.2
259.89 x 10-38.448.7+/-0.3
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The solute isopiestic method was used without modification. The apparatus employed consisted of a closed vessel divided into two compartments, one for water and the other for the organic solvent. Equilibrium was attained often for a period of 6 to 8 hours. The solution was  analyzed for water with the Beckman KF-3 Aquameter. The Karl Fisher reagent was standardized against crystalline sodium tartarate dihydrate.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Distilled.
   (2) Source not given, certified or reagent grade, distilled through a 30 plate Oldershaw column before use.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: See above.
   Temperature: ± 0.1 K.
