Hexane with Water
Components:
(1) Hexane,
$\ce{ C6H14 }$;

NIST WebBook
(2) Water,
$\ce{ H2O }$;

Experimental Values:
The solubility of hexane in water at 16°C was reported to be 0.055 cm3(1)/dm3(2).
With the assumption of a solution density of 1.00 g cm-3 and a density value of 0.6629 g cm-3 for hexane at 16°C (ref 2), the corresponding mass percent is 0.0036 g(1)/100 g sln and the corresponding mole fraction, x1, is 7.5 × 10-6 (compiler).
