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:
   Korenman, I.M.; Aref'eva, R.P., Patent USSR, 553 524, 1977.04.05 C.A. 87:87654.

Variables:
   Temperature = One temperature: 20 °C

Prepared By:
   A. Maczynski

Experimental Remarks:

   The solubility of cyclohexane in water at 20 °C was reported to be 0.10 g (1)mL(2).
The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction,x1, calculated by the compiler are 0.010 g(1)/100 g sln and 2.1 x 10-5.
The compiler's calculations assume a solution density of 1.00 g mL-1.

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   About 100-500 mL (2) was placed in a glass cylinder and 10-50 mg of an insoluble indicator was added and (1) was microburetted until the indicator floated to form a colored thin layer on the cylinder wall 2-3 cm above the liquid layer. After each drop of (1), the mixture was vigorously mixed for 0.5-1.5 min.
