Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Decane with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Decane; C10H22; [124-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Baker, E.G., Am. Chem. Soc., Div. Petrol. Chem., Preprints 1958, 3, No. 4, C61-8.

 Variables:
   Temperature = 25 °C

 Prepared By:
   M.C. Haulait-Pirson

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of decane-1-C14 in water at 25°C was reported to be 16 × 10–9 g(1)/g (2).

The corresponding mole fraction, calculated by the compiler, is x1 = 2.0 × 10–9.

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Carbon-14 labeled (1) was used as radioactive tracer. The technique of preparing a saturated aqueous solution of (1) by ultrafiltration of a (1)-(2) dispersion has been described in ref 1. A Packard Tri-Carb Liquid Scintillation Spectrometer was used to detect the radioactive (1) dissolved in (2).

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Nuclear Instrument and Chemical Corporation; used as received.
   (2) distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: 20% (standar deviation from 17 replicate runs).
