The issue of water solubility in benzene
Thread Content
May I ask, under the same temperature and pressure conditions, is the solubility of water in benzene equal to the solubility of benzene in water? Could you tell me the solubility of water in benzene at room temperature and pressure? Thank you!
It should be quite different, because after they are swapped, it’s as if the position of the medium and the solvent has been exchanged. At 25°C and at atmospheric pressure, the saturated water content in benzene is approximately 0.0716
Both are partially soluble, so they should be different; for details, refer to the section on phase equilibrium in material chemistry
