Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Trichloromethane (chloroform); CHCl3; [67-66-3]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Clifford, C.W., Ind. Eng. Chem. 1921, 13, 628-32.

 Variables:
   Temperature = 298 K - 301 K

26.60.1070.7055.94 x 10-3
27.80.1160.7646.44 x 10-3
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The calcium chloride method was used for the determination of water in trichloromethane. The water was measured as the moisture abstracted from the samples by air and absorbed in two calcium chloride tubes. The tubes were weighed before and after absorption.  For further details, see the paper by Clifford (ref. 1).

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Distilled (compiler).
   (2) U. S. P. grade, used after dehydration with CaCl2.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: About 1 mg.
   Temperature: ± 0.5 K (compiler).
