Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Hexane with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Hexane; C6H14; [110-54-3]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Charykov, A.K.; Tikhomirov, V.I.; Potapova, T.M., Zh. Obshch. Khim. 1978, 48, 1916-21.

 Variables:
   Temperature = One temperature: 20 °C

 Prepared By:
   M.C. Haulait-Pirson

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of water in hexane at 20 °C was reported to be 0.0035 mol (2) dm-3 sln corresponding to a mole fraction, x2, of 0.00046. The mass percent calculated by the compiler is 0.0084 g(2)/100 g sln. The compiler's calculation assumes a solution density of 0.663 g/mL (density of hexane reported in ref 1).

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The saturation of (1) with (2) was obtained by shaking definite volumes of (1) and (2) in a mechanical shaker for 2-3 hrs. (2) was determined in an aliquot (0.2-5 mL) of (1) by the Karl Fischer method. No more details are given
