The solubilities of hydrogen and some light hydrocarbons in n-hexane, toluene, and 1,2-dichloroethane at pressures of 1 atm. or less and temperatures of -23°to 25°C. were determined. The data were compared with published values, and discrepancies for hydrogen in 1,2-dichloroethane and for ethylene in toluene in the existing literature resolved. Relevant vapor pressures of the solvents were also measured.The SOLUBILITIES of hydrogen, ethylene, ethane, and propane in binary systems with toluene, as well as the solubilities of hydrogen and ethylene in n-hexane and 1,2-dichloroethane, are reported here. Some of the data are new, whereas others resolve discrepancies in existing literature data. Some new vapor pressure data for 1,2-dichloroethane were also obtained.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
