Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Benzene with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Benzene; C6H6; [71-43-2]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Masterton, W.L.; Gendrano, M.C., J. Phys. Chem. 1966, 70, 2895-8.

 Variables:
   Temperature = One temperature: 25 °C

 Prepared By:
   A. Maczynski and Z. Maczynska

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of water in benzene at 25 °C was reported to be 0.0347 mol (2) dm-3 sln.
The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x2, calculated by the compilers are 0.0715 g(2)/100 and 3.09 x 10-3. The assumption that 1 dm3 sln = 874 g sln was used in the calculation.

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Equilibration of (1) and (2) was allowed to take place for at least 2 days. The organic phase was analyzed for water by the Karl Fischer method.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) source not specified; free from thiophene; used as received.
   (2) not specified.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: 0.0002 mol(2) dm-3 (mean deviation from duplicate determinations)
   Temperature: ± 0.05 K
