The design of a gas solubility apparatus utilizing the basic principle of the Morrison and Billet apparatus is described. The solubilities at atmospheric pressure of ethane in the normal paraffin solvents, hexane, heptane, octane, dodecane and hexadecane, and also of the same gas in the two‐component solvent solutions consisting of hexane and hexadecane are reported. The solubilities of twelve gases were empirically correlated utilizing one constant for each gas. The empirical equations permit an estimate of the solubility in any normal paraffin solvent from hexane to hexadecane and for any temperature between 15°C and 40°C from a single solubility measurement.
