Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Cyclohexane with Water
Components:
   (1) Cyclohexane; C6H12; [110-82-7]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Durand, R., C.R. Hebd. Seances Acad. Sci. 1948, 226, 409-10.

 Variables:
   Temperature = One temperature: 16 °C

 Prepared By:
   M.C. Haulait-Pirson

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of cyclohexane in water at 16 °C was reported to be 0.08 cm3 (1)/dm3 (2).

With the assumption of a solution density of 1.00 g cm-3 and a density value of 0.782 g cm-3 for cyclohexane at 16 °C (ref 2), the corresponding mass percent is 0.0062 g(1)/100 g sln and the corresponding mole fraction, x1, is 1.3 x 10-5 (compiler).

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The thermostatic method described in ref 1 was used.
Addition of pipetted volumes of (1) to (2) followed by shaking is repeated till appearance of turbidity.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) not specified
   (2) distilled

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 0.005 cm3(1)/dm3(2)
