and the ether was evaporated at approximately 40°C. The gas chromatography in this case was performed on a 6-ft Porapak Q column and thermal conductivity detector. In this way the solubility of water in diethyl ether was determined to be 1.28% (w/w) at 23°C. A value of 1.31% w/w is calculated from the data of Hill (4), who employed a volumetric procedure. This is within the ±3% range assumed for the precision of the sampling technique.
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.
