Experimental solubilities are reported for benzil (1,2-diphenylethanedione) dissolved in eight binary mixtures containing (I-octanol and l-propanol, or 2-propanol, or I-butanol, or 2-butanol, or 2-methyl-1-propanol, or I-pentanol, or 3-methyl-1-butanol, or 4-methyl-2-propanol) at T = 298.15 K. Results of these measurements are used to test two mathematical representations based upon the combined Nearly Ideal Binary Solvent (NIBS)/Redlich-Kister equation and Modified Wilson model. For the eight systems studied, both equations were found to provide an accurate mathematical representation of the experimental results, with an overall average absolute deviation between measured and calculated values being on the order of 0.5 per cent or less.
