 Critical Evaluation:
         The solubility of 1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,5-decafluoro-3-[1,2,2,2-tetrafluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl]-4-(trifluoro-methyl)pentane (1) in water (2) has been studied by two work groups in the same laboratory, whereas the solubility of water (2) in 1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,5-decafluoro-3-[1,2,2,2-tetrafluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl]-4-(trifluoromethyl)pentane (1) has not been investigated yet.

      In both the experiments of Kabal'nov et al.1 and of Kabalnov et al.2 the solubility was calculated from the particle size growth in emulsions due to Ostwald ripening at 298.15 K. The reported data are in reasonable agreement with respect to the errors estimated by the authors.

      It is not possible to establish any shortcomings of the experimental procedures from the description. The measurements seem to be produced relatively accurate results. When one considers the saturation equilibrium, the method of analysis, and the reported standard deviation, one can conclude the values are reasonably accurate. Because it is not possible to say which of the two data points of Kabal'nov et al.1 and of Kabalnov et al.2 is more accurate, it is suggested that the average of the two as presented in Table 41 in weight percent, mole fraction, and mole per 100 gram is possibly the most reliable.
