Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
(1) is partially partitioned into the vapor phase by equilibration of the aqueous sample with helium in a gas syringe, the vapor then being transferred to a gas sampling valve and then to the column of a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector. By injecting gas samples from repeated equilibrations it is possible to calculate the amount of (1) in the original sample.

Components:
- Tetradecane, $\ce{ C14H30 }$; [629-59-4] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The authors reported a value of 0.0259 mg(1)dm-3 sln for the solubility of tetradecane in water.
With the assumption of a solution density of 1.00 g cm-3 the corresponding mass percent, calculated by the compiler, is 2.59 × 10-6g(1)/100 g sln and the corresponding mole fraction, x1, is 2.4 × 10-9.
