Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Water was saturated with chlorobenzene in a glass stoppered Erlenmeyer flask by rotating the flask in a constant temperature bath for 20 hours. The saturated solution was extracted with n-hexane for analysis. The optical density of the extract was measured against a n-hexane standard using a Beckman spectrophotometer (1).

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Eastman Kodak Co., commercial reagent, b.p. 131.9-132°C, fractionated before use.
   (2) Not specified.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ±10% (compiler).
   Temperature: ±0.1 K (compiler).
