Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The analytical method was used, 10 mL of (1) and 1200 mL of (2) were placed in a stoppered flask and agitated with a magnetic stirrer at a speed of 200 rpm for 9 to 24 hrs. (1) was extracted from 1000 mL of (2) with 2 mL of heptane and its concentration detrmined by gas chromatography using a Shimadzu equipped with hydrogen flame detectors.

Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: Not specified.
Components:
- Hexadecane, $\ce{ C16H34 }$; [544-76-3] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of hexadecane in water was reported to be 5.57 × 10-9 g(1) cm-3 sln.
With the assumption that a solution density of 1.00 g/cm, the corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 5.57 × 10-7 g(1)/100 g sln and 4.45 × 10-10.
