Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
n a 250-mL bottle, 10-20 mL of (1) was vigorously shaken for 1 hr, or magnetically stirred for one day, with 200 mL of (2) at 25 °C. In the case of shaking, the solution was allowed to stand for two days to permit separation of small (1) droplets. Absence of emulsion was checked microscopically. A 50 µL sample of the hydrocarbon-saturated water was withdrawn with a Hamilton syringe and gas liquid chromatographed in conjunction with a flame-ionization detector.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Phillips Petroleum Co.; 99+% purity; used as received.
- Distilled.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±1.5 K
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): 1.6 mg(1)/kg sln (standard deviation from mean)

Experimental Data
The solubility of methylcyclopentane in water at 25°C was reported to be 42 mg (1)/kg sln.
The corresponding mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler, is 9.0 × 10-6.
The same value is also reported in refs 1 and 2.
