t/°CConcentration c1 [mol dm**-3]102 * Mass Fraction w1 (compiler) 108 * Mole Fraction x1 (compiler)
254.0 x 10-61.15 x 10-47.2
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The solubility values were calculated from the particle size growth in emulsions due to Ostwald ripening. The particle size analysis of emulsions was accomplished through the use of a photon correlation spectrometer. The  kinetics of the particle size growth were observed until a 200 nm diameter was attained. The solubility measurement method showed a very low detection limit.  Further details on Ostwald ripening kinetics are described elsewhere.1

 Source and Purity of Materials:

   (2) Doubly distilled and deionized.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: About ± 30 %.
