Variables:
   Temperature = Ambient Room Temperature

Prepared By:
   W.E. Acree, Jr.

Experimental Remarks:

   Actual experimental data not given in cited paper. Solubilities, c1/(mg L–1), expressed in terms of the equation: c1/(mg L–1) = 36.5 (1 + 6.7 × 103 x22.53). Mole fraction compositions of 2-propanone ranged between x2 = 0.01 to x2 = 0.10.

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Gas chromatographic equipped with flame ionization detection.
Binary mixtures were prepared by weight. Excess solute and solvent placed in closed glass bottles and allowed to equilibrate at ambient room temperature for several days. A 100 mL aliquot removed and naphthalene concentrated by hexane extraction. Concentrations determined by gas chromatography.
