Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The solubility was determined at laboratory temperatures by use od screw-cap test tubes. The (1) phase floated on top of the water phase in two to four days. Analyses were carried out by GLC using a Hewlett-Packard model 5751 gas chromatograph with dual-flame ionization detectors. Many details are given in the paper.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Phillips Petroleum Company; Chemical Samples Company or Aldrich Chemical Company; 99+%.
- Distilled.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±1 K
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±0.08 mg(1)/kg(2)
Components:
- 3-Methylhexane, $\ce{ C7H16 }$; [589-34-4] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of 3-methylhexane in water at 25°C and at system pressure was reported to be 2.64 mg(1)/kg(2). The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 2.64 × 10-4 g(1)/100 g sln and 4.75 × 10-7.
