IUPAC-NIST Solubility Data Series. 81. Hydrocarbons with Water and Seawater—Revised and Updated. Part 2. Benzene with Water and Heavy Water

Abstract

The mutual solubilities and related liquid-liquid equilibria of benzene with water and heavy water are exhaustively and critically reviewed. Reports of experimental determination of solubility in these two chemically distinct binary systems that appeared in the primary literature prior to end of 2002 are compiled. For the system benzene-water sufficient data are available to allow critical evaluation. All data are expressed as mass percent and mole fraction as well as the originally reported units. In addition to the standard evaluation criteria used throughout the Solubility Data Series, a new method based on the evaluation of all experimental data for a homologous series of aromatic hydrocarbons was used.
