Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Octane with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Octane; C8H18; [111-65-9]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Fühner, H., Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1924, 57, 510-15.

 Variables:
   Temperature = 16 °C

 Prepared By:
   M.C. Haulait-Pirson

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of octane in water at 16°C was reported to be 0.002 mL(1)/100 mL sln or 0.0014 g(1)/100 g sln.

The corresponding mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler is 0.22 × 10–5.

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   In a stoppered measuring cylinder pipetted volumes or weighed amounts of (1) were added with shaking to 50, 100 or 1000 cm3 of (2) until a completely clear solution was obtained at the experimental temperature.
