Notes:
   a  Reported (values given as percent (1) in original work).
   b  Calculated by F. W. Getzen.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A known amount of pure pentachlorophenol was added to cold water. Then, the temperature was raised slowly with agitation until dissolution was complete.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Source and purity not specified.
   (2) No specifications given.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: <6% (estimated by the evaluator on the basis of the smoothed curve of log c vs. 1/T, where c denotes solubility).
