250.901.322.01
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Equilibrium was ensured through repeated shaking and centrifuging of the trichloromethane and water mixture in a stoppered Goetz tube and returning the mixture to a constant temperature water bath. The difference between the total amount of trichloromethane  which was added and the amount remaining in excess was taken as the amount of trichloromethane dissolved in the known volume of water.The determination of the excess amount of trichloromethane added is described by Hanslick (ref. 1).

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Commercial reagent, C. P. grade, used as received.
   (2) Distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not specified.
   Temperature: ± 1 K (compiler).
