 Variables:
   Temperature = 10-26 °C

 Prepared By:

 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Air saturated with radioactive water vapor was bubbled through (1) until saturation was attained. Dissolved water was separated from (1) by the absorption on calcium oxide. The tritium was transferred into the counter by equilibration with ethanol vapor. The method is described in ref (1).

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Ohio State University under an American petroleum Institute project, purity not specified; used as received.
   (2) not specified.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 1% (type of error not specified)
