 Variables:
   Temperature = 25 °C

 Prepared By:
   A. Maczynski and Z. Maczynska

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of tert-butylbenzene in water at 25°C was reported to be 29.5 mg(1)/kg(2). The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compilers are 0.00295 g(1)/100 g sln and 3.95 × 10–6.

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The concentration of (1) in (2) was determined by gas chromatography.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Aldrich Chemical Co. or Matheson Coleman and Bell 99+%.
   (2) distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: 0.3 (the standard deviation of the mean for six replicates)
   Temperature: ± 0.1°C
