Methodology:
A saturated solution was prepared by vigorously stirring hydrocarbon (1) in seawater (2) for 10-12 hrs. in a flask placed in a temperature contolled bath. A sample of solution was then transferred to a closed flask with head space volume equal to solution volume. Hydrocarbon concentration in the head space was determined by gas chromatography and the corresponding solution concentration calculated.
Sample Information:
- "Chemically pure"
- distilled water plus salt mixture.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: Not specified.
System Components:
- Undecane, $\ce{ C11H24 }$; [1120-21-4] NIST WebBook
- Seawater, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5(C)] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of undecane in seawater was reported to be 1.0 × 10-6 g(1)/100 g sln. and the corresponding mole fraction, x1 = 1.2 × 10-9.
