Evaluation
Quantitative solubility data for the system 1-hexene (1) and Water (2) have been reported in the publications listed in Table 1.

Solubility of 1-hexene in dilute aqueous HNO3 solutions have also been reported (ref 5) but will not be considered in this Evaluation.

The original data in all of these publications (ref 1-5) are compiled in the Data Sheets immediately following this Critical Evaluation. For convenience, further discussion of this system will be divided into two parts.



1. THE SOLUBILITY OF 1-HEXENE(1) IN WATER (2)

The solubility data for 1-hexene in water are given in Table 2.



2. THE SOLUBILITY OF WATER (2) IN 1-HEXENE (1)

The solubility data for water in 1-hexene are listed in Table 3. As data have not been obtained under comparable conditions they must be classified as 'Tentative'. However, it can be noted that in (other) well characterized systems the data of Englin et al. (ref 1) at T<300K are usually close to 'Recommended' values. The data of Budantseva et al (ref 4) on the other hand are often high.
