Temperature: 25 °C

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
In a 250 mL glass bottle, 10-20 mL of (1) was vigorously shaken for 1 hr or magnetically stirred for one day, with 200 mL of (2) at 25 °C. In the case of shaking, the solution was allowed to stand for two days to permit separation of small (1) droplets. Absence of emulsion was checked microscopically. A 50 microliter sample of the (1) saturated water was withdrawn with a Hamilton Syringe and injected into the fractionator of the gas chromatograph. A hydrogen-flame ionization detector was used. Many details are given in the paper.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Phillips Petroleum Co.; 99+% purity; used as received.
- Distilled.

2-Methylpentane with Water
Components:
(1) 2-Methylpentane,
$\ce{ C6H14 }$;
[107-83-5]
NIST WebBook
(2) Water,
$\ce{ H2O }$;

Experimental Values:
The solubility of 2-methylpentane in water at 25°C was reported to be 13.8 mg (1)/kg sln (0.00138 g(1)/100 g sln).
The corresponding mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler, is 2.88 × 10-6.
The same value is also reported in refs 1 and 2.
