Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
An excess of tribromomethane in 500 g water was shaken for 12 hours in a thermostat bath. Samples were then withdrawn and read against water in the interferometer made by Zeiss (ref. 1).A detailed description of the complete procedure is given in a Ph. D. thesis (ref. 12).
Source and Purity of Materials:
(1) Eastman Kodak Co., further purified by fractional freezing before use.
(2) Distilled.
Estimated Errors:
Solubility: ± 1.5 %.
Temperature: ± 0.02 K.
