Components:
(1) Cyclopentane,
C5H10; [287-92-3]
NIST WebBook
(2) Water,
H2O; [7732-18-5]

Original Measurements
Variables:
Ambient temperature: 0 - 40 °C
Prepared by:
M.C. Haulait-Pirson, A. Maczynski
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Component (1) was introduced into a thermostatted flask and saturated for 5 hours with (2). Next, calcium hydride was added and the evolving hydrogen volume measured and hence the concentration of (2) in (1) was evaluated.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Not specified.
- not specified.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: not specified.
Experimental Values:
