Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The gas solubility was determined using gas chromatography and employing helium as a carrier gas.
Based on the retention times and column characteristics, the Bunsen coefficient was calculated.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Sources and purities of gas and solvent not specified.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: δT/K = ±0.1
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): δp1/kPa = 2.0
δKB = ±6-8% (authors)
Components:
- Ethene, $\ce{ C2H4 }$; [74-85-1] NIST WebBook
- 2,6,10,15,19,23-Hexamethyltetracosane, $\ce{ C30H64 }$; [111-01-3] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
Also available in the paper were ethene Bunsen coefficients in four transformer oils, the properties of which were not specified.

(1) The solubility results were in the form of two equations, the first describing the temperature effect at 101.3 kPa pressure and the second the effect of pressure, to 405.2 kPa, at 313.15 K:
log KB = 568.0378 ( T/K)-1 - 1.1785 correlation coeff. = 0.9985
KB = 0.0101 p/atm + 1.2241 correlation coeff. = 0.3171 (low)
(2) The Ostwald coefficient and mole fraction solubility at 101.3 kPa were calculated by the compiler. The solvent densities were extrapolated.
