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:
