Critical Evaluation:
Anthracene solubilities in 1-octanol were retrieved from papers by Pinal et al. (1), Miller et al. (2), Acree et al. (3), and Anderson (4). All four studies report the solubility at only a single temperature, either 296 K (1) or 298 K (2-4). In the case of both Miller et al. and Anderson, the published molarity solubilities were converted to mole fraction values of x

= 0.00222 and x

= 0.00187 using molar volumes of V

for anthracene and 1-octanol, respectively. The arithmetic average of the three reported solubilities at 298.15 K, x
1
= 0.00208 ± 0.00019 is the recommended value for the mole fraction solubility of anthracene in 1-octanol.
