Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A titration method similar to that in Ref. 1 was used. A flask of 100 mL capacity containing a binary cyclohexane-alcohol mixture of known composition, by weight, was placed in a thermostat. The mixture was titrated with water from a microburette with a scale of 0.01 mL, until opalescence, emulation or turbidity was observed. Samples of the same binary composition were titrated several times.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Source not specified; purity of 99.97% for 3 points of the lower alcohol concentration at each temperature and purity of 92.64% for all other points.
   (2) Source not specified; distilled; b.p.=80.9°C, d(20°C,4°C)=0.7744.
   (3) Source not specified.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not reported.
   Temperature: Temp. ±0.05°C.
