Original Measurements
McAuliffe, C.; Science 1969, 163, 478-9.
Variables:
Room Temp: 25 °C

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
(1) was equilibrated with (2). Glass vials were filled with the saturated aqueous phase. Half of water was then displaced and replaced by air. The vials were then sealed and shaken for two minutes. The gas phase was then displaced through the sample lopp of a gas chromatograph for analyzing for hydrocarbon content.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Not specified.
- distilled.
Estimated Errors:
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±0.0043 mg(1)/kg(2)
Components:
- Decane, $\ce{ C10H22 }$; [124-18-5] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of decane in water at 25°C was reported to be 0.052 mg(1)/kg(2).
The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 5.2 × 10-6 g(1)/100 g sln and 6.58 × 10-9.
