Accurate density data for n-alkanes are essential for the measurement of interfacial tension of liquid-liquid systems as a function of pressure. The variation of density with pressure for three n-alkanes, n-hexane, n-heptane, and n-decane, was measured at 21.2[degrees]C and pressures ranging from 0.1 to 35 MPa with a digital density meter. The Tait equation of the form ([rho] [minus] [rho][sub 0])/[rho] = C log[(B + P)/(B + P[sub 0])] was used to represent the experimental data. 20 refs., 2 figs., 4 tabs.
