Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Water was saturated through the vapor phase with bromobenzene in a special flask (1) using a shaker in a thermostat bath for 24 hours. A gas chromatographic analysis of the samples was done by injection into a 5% Apiezon M stainless steel column with Celite as the supporter. The column length was 1.5 m and the temp. was 120°C. The chromatograph was equipped with a flame ionization detector. Three samples were analyzed from each flask.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Not specified.
   (2) Not specified.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ±14.9% (compiler).
   Temperature: ±0.1 K (compiler).
