   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) p-Xylene; C8H10; [106-42-3]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Sutton, C.; Calder, J.A., J. Chem. Eng. Data 1975, 20, 320-2.

 Variables:
   Temperature = 25 °C

 Prepared By:
   A. Maczynski and Z. Maczynska

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of p-Xylene in water at 25°C was reported to be 156.0 mg(1)/kg(2). The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compilers are 0.01560 g(1)/100 g sln and 2.65 × 10–5.

 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: 1.6 mg(1)/kg(2) (the standard deviation of the mean for six replicates)
   Temperature: ± 0.1°C
