Conditions:
Room Temp: One temperature: 100 °F (311 K) °F
Compiler:
Methodology:
The method was essentially that of [1] and involved titration of the second component to the cloud point, in a constant temperature bath.
Sample Information:
- Phillips; pure grade; used without further purification; $n_{D}^{20}$ = 1.3752.
- Distilled.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: Not specified.

Experimental Data
The solubility of n-hexane in water at 100°F (311 K) was reported to be < 0.1 g(1)/100 g sln. The corresponding mole fraction, x2, calculated by the compiler, is < 2 × 10-4.
The solubility of water in n-hexane at 100°F (311 K) was reported to be < 0.1 g(2)/100 g sln. The corresponding mole fraction, x2, calculated by the compiler, is < 5 × 10-3.
