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:
   Mackay, D.; Shiu, W.J.; Wolkoff, A.W., "Water Quality Parameters" Symp. 1973, ASTM Spec. Tech. Publ. 1975, 573, 251-8.

 Variables:
   Temperature = not specified

 Prepared By:
   M.C. Haulait-Pirson

 Experimental Remarks:
   The authors reported two different values for the solubility of decane in water: 0.182 and 1.22 mg(1)dm–3 sln. With the assumption of a solution density of 1.00 g cm–3, the corresponding mass percents calculated by the compiler, are 0.0000182 and 0.000122 g(1)/100 g sln and the corresponding mole fractions, x1, are 2.3 × 10–8 and 1.6 × 10–7 respectively.

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   (1) is partially partitioned into the vapor phase by equilibration of the aqueous sample with helium in a gas syringe, the vapor then being transferred to a gas sampling valve and then to the column of a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector. By injecting gas samples from repeated equilibrations it is possible to calculate the amount of (1) in the original sample.
