Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Fluoranthene with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Fluoranthene; C16H10; [206-44-0]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Klevens, H.B., J. Phys. Chem. 1950, 54, 283-98.

 Variables:
   Temperature = 25 °C

 Prepared By:
   M.C. Haulait-Pirson

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of fluoranthene in water at 25°C was reported to be 2.65 × 10–4 g(1) L–1 and 1.32 × 10–6 mole/L–1. Assuming that 1.00 L sln = 1.00 kg sln the corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 2.65 × 10–5 g(1)/100 g sln and 2.37 × 10–8.

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The solubility of (1) in (2) was determined by shaking small amounts of (1) in 1 liter of (2) for as long as three months. Aliquots were removed and concentrations determined by spectra.
