Original Measurements
Aquan-Yuen, M.; Mackay, D.; Shiu, W. Y.; J. Chem. Eng. Data 1979, 24, 30-4.
Variables:
Temperature: 25 °C

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Saturated solutions were prepared by adding an excess of (1) in (2) for 24 h, followed by settling in the water-bath for at least 48 hrs. The dissolved (1) was extracted by helium and trapped in liquid nitrogen. (1) was then injected into the GC column. The gas chromatograph was a Hewlett-Packard Model equipped with a flame ionization detector. The technique is described in [1].
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Fischer Scientific; pure grade (99 mol%).
- not specified.

Hexane with Water
Components:
(1) Hexane,
$\ce{ C6H14 }$;
[110-54-3]
NIST WebBook
(2) Water,
$\ce{ H2O }$;
[7732-18-5]

Experimental Values:
The solubility of hexane in water at 25°C was reported to be 0.0123 g(1) dm-3. With the assumption of a solutin density of 1.00 g cm-3, the corresponding mass perent is 0.00123 g(1)/100 g sln and the corresponding mole fraction, x1, is 2.57 × 10-6 (compiler).
