Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane with Water.
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane; C2H2Cl4; [79-34-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Walraevens, R.; Trouillet, P.; Devos, A., Int. J. Chem. Kinet. 6, 777-86 (1974)

 Variables:
   Temperature = 283 K - 353 K

 Prepared By:
   A. L. Horvath

 Experimental Remarks:
   The temperature dependence of the solubility of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane in water versus absolute temperature was expressed by the equation:

log10 (S/mol dm-3)=2070/(T/K) - 15.316+0.0222(T/K), where S=Solubility, and T=absolute temperature.
The temperature interval covered by the above equation is from 283 to 353 K. For example, the calculated solubility derived from the above equation is 2.95×10-1 [100 w1] at 298.15 K (compiler).

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
  
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A mixture of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane and water was preheated to the desired temperature before rapid mixing. The resulting mixture was thermostated and the equilibrium was maintained by vigorous stirring. The concentration of  1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane in water was determined by gas chromatography.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Solvay chemical, rectified before use, purity was 99.9 % by GLC analysis.
   (2) Distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not specified.
   Temperature: ± 0.5 K.
