Experimental Data
The solubility of cyclohexane in water at 16 °C was reported to be 0.08 cm3 (1)/dm3 (2).
With the assumption of a solution density of 1.00 g cm-3 and a density value of 0.782 g cm-3 for cyclohexane at 16 °C (ref 2), the corresponding mass percent is 0.0062 g(1)/100 g sln and the corresponding mole fraction, x1, is 1.3 × 10-5 (compiler).
