302.85 x 10-20.34372.458
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   An excess amount of tribromomethane with water was introduced into 30 ml centrifuge tubes that were closed with a screw cap. The tubes were rotated for 3 days inside a temperature controlled chamber at 10, 20, and 30oC, respectively. Samples  were taken from the tubes and analyzed by gas chromatography after liquid-liquid extraction. The experiments were carried out in duplicates.

   (2) Distilled and deionized.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 3.9 %.
   Temperature: ± 0.5 K.
