Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Hexane with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Hexane; C6H14; [110-54-3]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   McCants, J.F.; Jones, J.H.; Hopson, W.H., Ind. Eng. Chem. 1953, 45, 454-6.

 Variables:
   Temperature = One temperature: 100 °F (311 K)

 Prepared By:
   G.T. Hefter

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of n-hexane in water at 100 °F (311 K) was reported to be < 0.1 g(1)/100 g sln. The corresponding mole fraction, x2, calculated by the compiler, is < 2 x 10-4.

The solubility of water in n-hexane at 100 °F (311 K) was reported to be < 0.1 g(2)/100 g sln. The corresponding mole fraction, x2, calculated by the compiler, is < 5 x 10-3.

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The method was essentially that of ref. 1 and involved titration of the second component to the cloud point, in a constant temperature bath.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Phillips; pure grade; used without further purification; nD20 1.3752.
   (2) Distilled.

 Estimated Errors:

   Temperature: Not specified.
