Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Air-water partition coefficients were measured by saturating a portion of water by a stream of nitrogen containing a known vapour concentration of (1). After equilibration, the dissolved (1) was absorbed in a porous polymer trap and the entrapped (1) analysed by gas chromatography. The method and apparatus are described in detail in ref 1.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Fluka, >99.8%, used as received.
- Not specified.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: not specified.

Experimental Values:
Note: Solubility values were calculated by the authors from their smoothed air-water partition coefficient (KAW) by assuming KAW values obtained at infinite dilution were valid at the saturation pressure of (1).Solubility of pentane in water
