Evaluator:
A. L. Horvath, Imperial Chemical Industries Limited, Runcorn, U.K., July 1993.
Critical Evaluation:
The solubility of 1-bromobutane (1) in water (2) has been studied by five work groups over the temperature range from 289 to 303 K. The data are in very poor agreement and in the absence of other independent studies, it is not possible to determine which values are more reliable.
The approximate single value of Booth and Everson
1
is considerably lower than all other measurements and is therefore rejected. Despite the narrow temperature difference between the solubility data of Fühner
2
and of Gross and Saylor
3
the agreement is good. However, the more recent measure-ments by Tewari et al.
4
and by Miller et al.
5
from the same laboratory resulted in much higher solubility values. There are no comparable data values at 18 and 30 °C.
Further studies will be necessary before even tentative values can be proposed. All the available data for the solubility of 1-bromobutane (1) in water (2) in weight percent and mole fraction are summarized in Table 22.
