Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The analysis was performed by gas liquid chromatography. After equilibrating the (1)/(2) mixtures in a thermostat, up to 0.5 mL of the aqueous phase was injected into the fractionator fitted to the chromatographic column, and (2) was removed by 'Drierite'. The (1) concentrations were obtained from the peak areas, after initial calibrations.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Fluka; purum grade; purity > 97% (chromatographic analysis).
- Not specified.
Estimated Errors:
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±12%
Components:
- Tetradecane, $\ce{ C14H30 }$; [629-59-4] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of tetradecane in water at 25°C was reported to be in mole fraction x1 = 6.3 × 10-10.
The corresponding mass percent calculated by the compiler is 6.94 × 10-7 g(1)/100 g sln.
