 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   An excess of trichloromethane was added to a stainless steel tube containing water and the tube was sealed. It was allowed to equilibrate during shaking for a week at 25oC. After centrifugation, the sample was analyzed for radioactivity using a  liquid scintillation counter. The solubility determination was carried out at least twice for each sample and the analysis was done in duplicate.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) New England Nuclear, used as received.
   (2) Distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 4.3% std. dev.
   Temperature: ± 0.3 K.
