Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Water was saturated with chlorobenzene from the vapor phase in a special flask (1) placed in a thermostat bath using a shaker for a 24 hour equilibration period. A gas chromatographic analysis was done by sample injection into a 1.5 m stainless steel column having a 5% Apiezon M coating on Celite operated at 120°C. The chromatograph was fitted with a flame ionization detector. Three samples from each flask were analyzed.

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

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ±2.9% (compiler).
   Temperature: ±0.1 K (compiler).
