Experimental Data
The solubility of hexane in water at 20°C was reported to be x1 = 3 × 10-6.
The corresponding mass percent calculated by the compiler is 0.0014 g(1)/100 g sln.
The solubility of water in hexane at 20°C was reported to be x2 = 3.7 × 10-4.
The corresponding mass percent calculated by the compiler is 0.0077 g(2)/100 g sln.
