Solubility System: Toluene with Water
Components:

(1) Toluene, C7H8; [108-88-3] NIST WebBook
(2) Water, H2O; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook

Original Measurements

Price, L. C.; Am. Assoc. Petrol. Geol. Bull. 1976, 60, 213-44.

Variables:

Ambient temperature: One temperature: 25 °C

Prepared by:

M.C. Haulait-Pirson

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

The solubility was determined at laboratory temperatures by use of screw-cap test tubes. The (1) phase floated on top of the water and insured saturation of the (2) phase in 2 to 4 days. Analyses were carried out by GSC using a Hewlett-Packard model 5751 gas chromatograph with dual-flame ionization detectors. Many details are given in the paper.

Source and Purity of Materials:
  1. Phillips Petroleum Company; Chemical Samples Company or Aldrich Chemical Company; 99+%.
  2. Distilled.
Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±1 K
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±15 mg(1)/kg(2)

Experimental Values:
Note: The solubility of toluene in water at 25°C was reported to be 554.0 mg(1)/kg(2). The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compilers are 0.0554 g(1)/100 g sln and 1.08 × 10-4.
