Description
Summary:The mutual solubility curve for a binary system of partly miscible liquids is often constructed by determining the temperature at which a known composition of the mixture becomed homogeneous. Jordan describes an experiment that adds an alternate determination of the composition and mass of one of the layers in a known overall composition of a mixture and then comparing these values to those obtained at the same temperature and overall composition from the phase diagram.
