Evaluator:
A. L. Horvath, Imperial Chemical Industries Limited, Runcorn, U.K., July 1993.
Critical Evaluation:
The solubility of 1,2,3-trichloropropane (1) in water (2) has been studied by four work groups; whereas, the solubility of water (2) in 1,2,3-trichloropropane (1) has not been investigated yet.
The solubility value of Wright and Schaffer
1
is markedly higher than the other measurements and is therefore rejected. The remaining data of Hutchinson et al.,
2
of Leighton and Calo,
3
and of Bauduin et al.
4
are in reasonable agreement, although further studies are required before any values can be recommend.
The combined mass percent data
2-4
covering the temperature interval from 275 to 298 K were correlated to obtain the following mass percent (1) equation:
Solubility [100 w
1
= -14.676 + 0.097906 (T/K) - 1.61015x10
-4
(T/K)
2
which yielded a standard deviation of 1.47x10
-2
in the prescribed temperature range. The concave shape of the solubility versus temperature curve suggests that the data may be inconsistent. The tentative solubility at 5 K intervals from the smoothing equation for this system in weight percent and mole fraction are presented in Table 9.
