Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Naphthacene with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Naphthacene; C18H12; [92-24-0]  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 naphthacene in water at 25°C was reported to be 6.6 × 10–9 mol(1) L–1 sln.

Assuming that 1.00 L sln = 1.00 kg sln, the corresponding mass percent and mole fraction calculated by the compiler are 1.5 × 10–7 g(1)/100 g sln and 1.2 × 10–10.

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.
