Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
(1) is partially partitioned into the vapor phase by equilibration of the aqueous sample with helium in a gas syringe, the vapor then being transferred to a gas sampling valve and then to a column of a gas chromatograp equipped with a flame ionization detector. By injecting gas samples from repeated equilibrations it is possible to calculate the amount of (1) in the original sample.

Hexane with Water
Components:
(1) Hexane,
$\ce{ C6H14 }$;
[110-54-3]
NIST WebBook
(2) Water,
$\ce{ H2O }$;
[7732-18-5]
NIST WebBook
Experimental Values:
The authors reported the value of 16.2 mg(1)/dm-3 sln for the solubility of hexane in water. With the assumption of a solution density of 1.00 g cm-3, the corresponding mass percent, calculated by the compiler, is 0.00162 g(1)/100 g sln and the corresponding mole fraction, x1, is 3.4 × 10-6.
