Original Measurements

McLaughlin, E.; Scott, R. L.; J. Phys. Chem. 1954, 76, 5276-5279.

Variables:

Ambient temperature: 298 K, 308 and 318 K

Prepared by:

W.E. Acree, Jr.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

Constant temperature bath, a precision thermometer and uv/visible spectrometer.
Mixtures of known concentrations sealed in glass ampoules and pre-equilibrated for four days at an elevated temperature. Saturated solutions were then transferred to a special solubility flask and equilibrated for three days at desired temperature. Aliquots removed, diluted ten-fold with solvent and concentrations determined spectrophotometrically at 270 nm.

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. White Label, Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, New York, USA, was recrystallized five times from ethanol to give a melting point of 101°C.
2. Purity not specified, Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Company, USA, was distilled shortly before use.

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: T/K: precision ±0.02. x₁: ±2% (relative error; compiler).
