Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
  
t/°CConcentration c1 [mol dm**-3]102 * Mass Fraction w1 (compiler) 109 * Mole Fraction x1 (compiler)
252.7 x 10-79.13 x 10-64.86
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 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

   (2) Doubly distilled and deionized.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: About +/- 30%
