Original Measurements:
   Smutek, M.; Fris, M.; Fohl, J., Collection Czech. Chem. Commun. 1967, 32, 931-943.

 Variables:
   Temperature = 293 K

 Prepared By:
   W. E. Acree, Jr.

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
  
t/°CMole Fraction x1Mole Fraction x2
20.00.003130.9969
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Constant temperature bath, thermometer, and a precision balance. Excess solute and solvent placed in closed glass containers and allowed to equilibrate for several hours at constant temperature. Aliquots of saturated solutions were transferred into tared containers and weighed.  Solubilities calculated from weight of solid residue which remained after solvent had evaporated.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) 95 % initial purity, Urxovy Zavady, Czech., was recrystallized several times from pyridine and cyclohexane to give a final purity of 98.3 %.
   (2) 99 %, Commercial sample, source and purification method was not specified.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: x1: ± 3 % (relative error; compiler).
   Temperature: T/K: precision ± 0.05.
