20.00.821.256.87 x 10-3
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The solubility determination was done in small test tubes (e. g., 100 x 12 mm) to permit vigorous shaking of the trichloromethane and water mixture. During the experiment, 0.20 cm3 trichloromethane was added to 3.0 cm3 of water and shaken. The amount  of trichloromethane in the water was analyzed by passing the sample through a chromatographic column.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Commercial grade, dried over anhydrous CaCl2 before use.
   (2) Distilled.

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