 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A mixture of 10 to 20 ml tetrachloromethane in 500 ml of an aqueous solution of KCl was placed in a water thermostat bath. The sample container was placed on a shaker and agitated until no more liquid droplets remained undissolved. One or more samples were  syphoned out and the concentration of tetrachloromethane was determined using a Zeiss water interferometer.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Source not given. Commercial reagent, fractionally distilled before use.
   (2) Kahlbaum chemical, certified grade.
   (3) Distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 5 %.
   Temperature: ± 0.01 K.
