 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A known volume of water was mixed with trichloromethane in an Erlenmeyer flask. The flask was immersed in a water bath and magnetically stirred. Samples were removed for analysis at regular intervals. All samples were analyzed using a gas-liquid chromatograph  equipped with an electron capture detector. The solubility given is the average of five consecutive samples with less than 5 % variation.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Source not given. Analytical standard grade, greater than 95 % purity.
   (2) Distilled and run through a resin column before use.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: 5 % variation of 5 samples.
   Temperature: ± 0.5 K.
