Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around finding reliable solubility data for various mixtures, specifically water-toluene, water-hexane, and water-MEK at 40°C, as well as the densities of the pure solvents at the same temperature. Participants are seeking resources and databases that provide this information.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant inquires about a good solubility database, mentioning difficulties in finding specific data from IUPAC-NIST.
- Another participant suggests that water-toluene and water-hexane may not be miscible, while stating that water-MEK is infinitely miscible.
- A third participant expresses a desire for actual values rather than approximations.
- A later reply recommends a book titled "Handbook of aqueous solubility data" as a useful resource on the topic.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the miscibility of the mixtures discussed, and there is no agreement on the availability of the specific data requested.
Contextual Notes
Participants have not specified the exact definitions or conditions under which the solubility data is sought, nor have they clarified the assumptions related to the miscibility of the mixtures.
