Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The saturation of (1) with (2) was obtained by shaking definite volumes of (1) and (2) in a mechanical shaker for 2-3 hrs. (2) was determined in an aliquot (0.2-5 mL) of (1) by the Karl Fischer method. No more details are given

Experimental Data
The solubility of water in hexane at 20°C was reported to be 0.0035 mol (2) dm-3 sln corresponding to a mole fraction, x2, of 0.00046. The mass percent calculated by the compiler is 0.0084 g(2)/100 g sln. The compiler's calculation assumes a solution density of 0.663 g/mL (density of hexane reported in ref 1).
