Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Hexadecane with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Hexadecane; C16H34; [544-76-3]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Yoshida, F.; Yamane, T., Biotechnol. Bioeng. 1971, 13, 691-6.

 Variables:
   Temperature = not specified

 Prepared By:
   M.C. Haulait-Pirson

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of hexadecane in water was reported to be 5.57 × 10–9 g(1) cm–3 sln.

With the assumption that a solution density of 1.00 g/cm, the corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 5.57 × 10–7 g(1)/100 g sln and 4.45 × 10–10.

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The analytical method was used, 10 mL of (1) and 1200 mL of (2) were placed in a stoppered flask and agitated with a magnetic stirrer at a speed of 200 rpm for 9 to 24 hrs. (1) was extracted from 1000 ml of (2) with 2 mL of heptane and its concentration detrmined by gas chromatography using a Shimadzu equipped with hydrogen flame detectors.
