Solubility of nonanedioic acid in nitromethane
t/°C	T/K	Concentration c₁ [mol/L]	10² * Mass Fraction w₂ (compiler)	Mole Fraction x₂ (compiler)
0	273.2	0.002	0.03	0.0001

Notes:
   ^a  The densities of the solutions were taken to be by the compiler those of nitromethane (Timmermans¹) at the specified temperatures.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The titration method was used: 25 mL of (1) and an amount of (2) exceeding the solubility were placed into 50 mL volumetric flasks. The flasks were closed by ground stoppers and were stored at the required temperature in a thermostat for 45 hours, with intensive stirring every several hours. After this, 5 mL samples of the saturated solution were taken by pipette, diluted to 25 mL with nitromethane and titrated against 0.07 N tetrabutylammonium hydroxide solution by using bromothymol blue indicator.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Source not specified; purity not specified; dried over P₂O₅ and distilled at reduced pressure.
   (2) Source not specified; purity not specified; purified by crystallization from water.

Estimated Errors:
