   (2) Decane; C10H22; [124-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Becke, A.; Quitzsch, G., Chem.Techn. 1977, 29, 49-51.

 Variables:
   Temperature = 20 °C

 Prepared By:
   P.L. Huyskens and M.C. Haulait-Pirson

 Experimental Remarks:
   The solubility of decane in water at 20°C was reported to be in mole fraction, x1 = 2.5 × 10–9. The corresponding mass percent, calculated by the compiler, is 1.976 × 10–6 g(1)/100 g sln. The solubility of water in decane at 20°C was reported to be in mole fraction, x2 = 2.3 × 10–3. The corresponding mass percent, calculated by the compiler, is 0.292 g(2)/100 g sln.

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The refractometric and the Karl-Fischer dead-stop titration methods were used.
