 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   250 cm3 bottles were filled with distilled deionized water and sealed. A measured volume of trichloromethane was injected into the bottles through each bottle septum using a microliter syringe. Trichloromethane was in excess of the anticipated  solubility limit. The bottles were shaken for 1 hour with a wrist-action shaker and allowed to equilibrate for about 3 weeks. Samples were then injected into a gas chromatograph equipped with a Carbopack column and a FID detector. The GC response was compared with the  calibration plot.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Probable a commercial reagent at least 99 % purity. Used as received.
   (2) Distilled and deionized.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not specified.
