   (2) Cyclohexene; C6H10; [110-83-8]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail

Original Measurements:
   Pierotti, R.A.; Liabastre, A.A., "Structure and properties of water solutions." U.S. Nat. Tech. Inform. Serv., PB Rep., 1972, No. 21163, 113 p.

Variables:
   Temperature = 278.26-318.36 K

Prepared By:
   M.C. Haulait-Pirson

Experimental Remarks:

   The solubility of cyclohexene in water at 20°C was reported to be x1 = 5 x 10-5.
The corresponding mass percent calculated by the compiler is 0.023 g(1)/100 g sln.

The solubility of water in cyclohexene at 20 °C was reported to be x2 = 0.0019.
The corresponding mass percent calculated by the compiler is 0.042 g(2)/100 g sln.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   10 mL of (2) were placed along with 4-10 drops (1) in 10 mL serum bottles, which were then tightly capped, and placed in the rotating basket and rotated for 24 hours. The bottles were then hand shaken to remove (1) droplets from the stoppers and then replaced in the bath with tops down for an additional 24 hours. The solute concentrations were determined by use of a flame-ionization gas chromatograph. Many details about equipment, operating conditions and calculation are given in the paper.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Eastman Organic Chemicals, No. 1043; washed with water to remove stabilizing agent.
   (2) laboratory distilled water

Estimated Errors:
