Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: 1-Chlorohexane with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) 1-Chlorohexane; C6H13Cl; [544-10-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Evaluator:
   A. L. Horvath, Imperial Chemical Industries Limited, Runcorn, U.K., July 1993.

 Critical Evaluation:
         The solubility of 1-chlorohexane (1) in water (2) has been studied by two work groups; whereas, the solubility of water (2) in 1-chlorohexane (1) has not been investigated yet.

      The two sources of data by Wright and Schaffer1 and by Leighton and Calo2 are at different temperatures, so that a direct comparison of the values is not possible. Despite the narrow temperature difference of 2 K, Wright and Schaffer's single value at 298.15 K is about 45 per cent too high. The measurement of Wright and Schaffer1 is therefore classified as doubtful and it is rejected. The solubility data of Leighton and Calo2 are believed to be more reliable than the other data because measurements were made at more than one temperature. Leighton and Calo's solubility data were correlated to obtain the following mass percent (1) equation:

Solubility [100 w1] = - 0.019959 + 8.85289x10-5 (T/K)


The above equation represents the smoothed data with a maximum deviation of 17 per cent, usually less, and may be considered tentative for solubilities in the temperature interval from 274 to 296 K. The tentative values for this system in weight percent and mole fraction are given in Table 34 at 5 K intervals.
