You have liquid–liquid equilibrium data for several normal alkanes in water at 25°C, provided in Table P13-17. Based on this data, what would be a reasonable prediction for the amount of n-decane (C10 H22 ) in the aqueous phase and the infiinite dilution activity coefficient of n-decane in water at 25°C?

Table P13-17.
