Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Benzo[b]triphenylene with Salt water

Components:
   (1) Salt water; ; []  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Benzo[b]triphenylene; C22H14; [215-58-7]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail

Original Measurements:
   Krasnoschchekova, R.Ya.; Pakhapill, Yu.A.; Gubergrits, M.Ya., Khim. Tverd. Topl. 1977, 11(2), 133-6.

Variables:
   Temperature = 25 °C   
pH = Salinity: 6 g/kg sln (ref. 1)
   Concentration = Salinity: 6 g/kg sln (ref. 1)

Prepared By:
   M. Kleinschmidt and D. Shaw

Experimental Remarks:

   The solubility of benzo[b]triphenylene in salt water was reported to be 27.84 µg/L.

The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compilers are 2.719 × 10–6 g(1)/100 g sln and 1.841 × 10–9 assuming a solution density of 1.004 kg/L.

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   1 L of a 0.5 g/L solution of the hydrocarbon in acetone was distributed over the inside surface of a 1-L round-bottomed flask; the acetone was evaporated with gentle heating. 0.5 L water (or salt water) was added to the dried residue, and the solution was stirred for 6 hr and allowed to settle for 16-18 hr. The upper layer (about 0.3 L) was taken for analysis. The solution was centrifuged twice at 7000 g to remove suspended particles. The hydrocarbon was extracted with benzene and concentrated by evaporation, then purified using thin-layer chromatography. Spectrometric analysis of an octane solution of the hydrocarbon was done using the quasilinear luminescence spectra.
