 Solubility System: Anthracene with 2-Propanone

---

Components:
   (1) 2-Propanone; C3H6O; [67-64-1]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Anthracene; C14H10; [120-12-7]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail

Original Measurements:
   Mahieu, J., Bull. Soc. Chim. Belgique 1936, 45, 667-677.

Variables:
   Temperature = 298 K

Prepared By:
   W. E. Acree, Jr.

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
  

t/°C	Mole Fraction x1	x1 Note	Mole Fraction x2	x2 Note
25.0	0.00432	a	0.9957	a

Notes:
   ^a  computed by compiler from published solvent compositions and solute solubilities, which were expressed as weight percents and grams of solute per 100 grams of solvent.

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) Purity and source not given.
   (2) Purity and source not given.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: x₁: ± 5 % (relative error; compiler).
   Temperature: T/K: precision ± 0.5 (compiler).
