 Solubility System: Dibenzofuran with Cyclohexane

---

Components:
   (1) Cyclohexane; C6H12; [110-82-7]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Dibenzofuran; C12H8O; [132-64-9]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail

Original Measurements:
   Coon, J.E.; Sediawan, W.B.; Auwaerter, J.E.; McLaughlin, E., J. Solution Chem. 1988, 16, 519-534.

Variables:

T/K	Mole Fraction x1	Mole Fraction x2
327.8	0.4226	0.5774
330.2	0.4805	0.5195
334.0	0.5436	0.4564

338.5	0.6700	0.3300
345.1	0.8120	0.1880

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Constant temperature bath and a precision thermometer. Mixtures of known concentrations sealed in glass ampoules and placed in constant temperature to equilibrate. Samples were rotated while bath temperature slowly increased. Solubility  determined by noting the temperature at which the last trace of solid solute disappeared.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) 99 %, Aldrich Chemical Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, was recrystallized from toluene.
   (2) Gold Label, 99.9+ %, Aldrich Chemical Company, was used as received.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: x₁: ± 0.0003.
   Temperature: T/K: precision ± 0.1
