 Critical Evaluation:
         The solubility of 1-bromopropane (1) in water (2) has been studied by four work groups; whereas, the solubility of water (2) in 1-bromopropane (1) has not been investigated yet. The temperature dependence of the solubility between 273 and 303 K was reported in only one paper.1

      Despite the small temperature difference among the measured solubilities, the agreement is reasonable. The available solubility data of Rex,1 of Fühner,2 of Gross and Saylor,3 and of van Arkel and Vles4 were correlated to obtain the following mass percent (1) equation:

Solubility [100 w1] = 9.0608 - 0.05910 (T/K) + 9.8925x10-5 (T/K)2


which yielded a standard deviation of 9.38x10-3 in the temperature range from 273 to 303 K. The curve obtained from the smoothing equation shows a distinct minimum at 298.7 K as shown in Fig. 5.

      The tentative solubility values for this system in weight percent and mole fraction are given in Table 15, as smoothed values at 5 K intervals.
