Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Tetradecane with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Tetradecane; C14H30; [629-59-4]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Mackay, D.; Shiu, W.J.; Wolkoff, A.W., "Water Quality Parameters" Symp. 1973, ASTM Spec. Tech. Publ. 1975, 573, 251-8.

 Variables:
   Temperature = not specified

 Experimental Remarks:
   The authors reported a value of 0.0259 mg(1)dm–3 sln for the solubility of tetradecane in water.

With the assumption of a solution density of 1.00 g cm–3 the corresponding mass percent, calculated by the compiler, is 2.59 × 10–6g(1)/100 g sln and the corresponding mole fraction, x1, is 2.4 × 10–9.

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   (1) is partially partitioned into the vapor phase by equilibration of the aqueous sample with helium in a gas syringe, the vapor then being transferred to a gas sampling valve and then to the column of a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector. By injecting gas samples from repeated equilibrations it is possible to calculate the amount of (1) in the original sample.
