Conditions:

Room Temp: 25 °C

Compiler:

M.C. Haulait-Pirson

Methodology:

In a 250 mL glass bottle, 10-20 mL of (1) was vigorously shaken for 1 hr or magnetically stirred for one day, with 200 mL of [2] at 25 °C. In the case of shaking, the solution was allowed to stand for two days to permit separation of small (1) droplets. Absence of emulsion was checked microscopically. A 50 µL sample of the (1) saturated water was withdrawn with a Hamilton Syringe and injected into the fractionator of the gas chromatograph. A hydrogen-flame ionization detector was used. Many details are given in the paper.

Sample Information:
  1. Phillips Petroleum Co.; 99+% purity; used as received.
  2. Distilled.
Measurement Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±1.5 K
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): 1.0 mg(1)/kg sln (standard deviation of mean)

System Components:
  1. Cycloheptane, $\ce{ C7H14 }$; [291-64-5] NIST WebBook
  2. Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data

The solubility of cycloheptane in water at 25 °C was reported to be 30 mg (1)/kg sln (0.0030 g(1)/100 g sln).
The corresponding mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler, is 5.5 × 10-6.
The same value is also reported in [1].
