Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The analytical method was used. Each two-phase mixture in a 70 mL equilibrium cell was stirred intensely for 2 h and then was allowed to settle for 2 h at 25.00 °C in a thermostated water bath. Two liquid samples in equilibrium were withdrawn with Hamilton syringes and were analyzed by means of a gas chromatograph and an electronic integrator.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Source not specified; guaranteed reagent; not purified.
- Source not specified; not purified; GLC did not detect any appreciable impurities.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±0.01 K
Composition: ±0.002 mole fractions.
Experimental Values:
Mutual solubility of acetonitrile (1) and hexane (2)
