Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Triiodomethane (iodoform) with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Triiodomethane (iodoform); CHI3; [75-47-8]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Dehn, W.M., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1917, 39, 1399-404.

 Variables:
   Temperature = 293 K - 298 K

t/°C102 * g1/g2102 * Mass Fraction w1 (compiler) 106 * Mole Fraction x1 (compiler)
20-251.0 x 10-11.0 x 10-14.57
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Excess triiodomethane in 5 cm3 water samples were enclosed in small vials which, when stoppered, were shaken until equilibria were established. The solutions were filtered into weighed crucibles and reweighed. After drying in vaccum desiccators, the crucibles  were again weighed and the loss of water calculated. No great accuracy was claimed for the experiments.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) From reliable firms; "not always pure."
   (2) Distilled (compiler).

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not specified.
   Temperature: ± 5 K.
