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 GLC 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:
- Phillips Petroleum Company; Chemical Samples Company or Aldrich Chemical Company; 99+%.
- Distilled.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±1°C
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±0.031 mg(1)/kg(2)
