Editing Fluorocarbon (section)

===Gas dissolving properties===
Perfluorocarbons dissolve relatively high volumes of gases. The high solubility of gases is attributed to the weak intermolecular interactions in these fluorocarbon fluids.<ref>{{cite web |title=Dissolving gases in FLUTEC liquids |publisher=F2 Chemicals Ltd |date=2005-05-10 |url=http://www.f2chemicals.com/pdf/technical/Gas%20solubility.pdf}}</ref>

The table shows values for the mole fraction, {{mvar|x}}{{sub|1}}, of nitrogen dissolved, calculated from the [[Blood–gas partition coefficient]], at 298.15&nbsp;K (25&nbsp;°C), 0.101325&nbsp;MPa.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Battino R, Rettich TR, Tominaga T |year=1984 |title=The solubility of nitrogen and air in liquids |journal=J.
