Notes:
In Part I (Tsonopoulos and Wilson, 1983), the mutual solubilities of three C6 hydrocarbons (benzene, cyclohexane, n-hexane) and water were experimentally investigated and, together with critically selected literature data, were correlated up to the three-phase critical end point. The present paper extends this analysis to the mutual solubilities of three C8 hydrocarbons (ethylbenzene, ethylcyclohexane, n-octane) and water, which have been measured at the three-phase equilibrium pressure up to the critical temperatures (568, 561 and 539 K, respectively). A thermodynamic analysis of these new measurements and of available literature data has been performed up to the three-phase critical end point. Information is also provided on vapor-phase equilibrium compositions. The solubility of hydrocarbons in water has been used to calculate Henry's constants, while the solubility and volatility of water in hydrocarbons has been successfully correlated with several modifications of the Redlich-Kwong equation of state.
