Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
About 200-500 mL (2) was placed in a ground-joiont glass cylinder and 20-50 mg of an insoluble indicator (dithizon, phenolphthalein, etc.) was added, and (1) was microburetted until the indicator floated to form a colored thin layer. Blanks were made to determine the excess of (1).

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 solubility of hexane in watar at 25°C was reported to be 0.16 g(1) dm-3 sln.
The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compilers are 0.016 g(1)/100 g sln and 3.3 × 10-5. The compiler's calculation assume a solution density of 1.00 g/mL.
