Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: 2-Heptene with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) 2-Heptene; C7H14; [592-77-8]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   McAuliffe, C., J. Phys. Chem. 1966, 70, 1267-75.

 Variables:
   Temperature = 25 °C

 Prepared By:
   A. Maczynski, Z. Maczynska, and A. Szafranski

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of 2-heptane in water at 25°C was reported to be 15 g(1)/106 g(2).
The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compilers are 0.0015 g(1)/100 g sln and 2.7 x 10-6.

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   In a 250 mL glass bottle, 10-20 mL of (1) was vigorously shaken for 1 hr or magnetically stirred for 1 day, with 200 mL of (2) at 25 °C. Absence of emulsion was checked microscopically. A sample of the hydrocarbon-saturated water was withdrawn with a Hamilton Syringe and gas liquid chromatograph in conjunction with a flame ionization detector.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Phillips Petroleum or Columbia Chemical; used as received.
   (2) distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: 1.4 g (1)/106 g(2) (standard deviation of mean)
   Temperature: ± 1.5 K
