Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Decane with Seawater
Components:
   (1) Decane; C10H22; [124-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Seawater; ; []  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Evaluator:
   D.G. Shaw, Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, Alaska USA. December 1982.

 Critical Evaluation:
   The solubility of decane (1) in seawater (2) has been reported in two works:

Because temperature and salinity are not specified, the data of Freegarde et al. are rejected. The value of Krasnoshchekova and Gubergirts is considered doubtful since it is greater than the tentative value for the solubility of decane in pure water at 298 K.
