Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Nitromethane with Cyclohexane

Components:
   (1) Nitromethane; CH3NO2; [75-52-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Cyclohexane; C6H12; [110-82-7]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail

Original Measurements:
   Poppe, G., Bull. Soc. Chim. Belg. 44, 640-57 (1935).

Variables:
   Temperature = 367 K
   Pressure = P/kPa = 329-12412

Prepared By:
   V. P. Sazonov

Experimental Remarks:

   The upper critical solution temperature (Tc) was reported to be 93.6 °C (366.8 K, compiler). A value of dTc/dP of 0.0216 K·kPa-1 was reported in the above pressure range.

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The synthetic method was used. The observations were carried out in sealed tubes in the presence of the vapor phase. A Cailletet tube with a Kuenen electromagnetic stirrer was used in the experiments at higher pressure. A thermostating cylinder was also used to control the temperature.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Obtained from the Bureau Etalons Physico-Chimiques.
   (2) Obtained from the Bureau Etalons Physico-Chimiques.

Estimated Errors:

   Pressure: ± 100 kPa
