25.00.701.711.80
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The equilibrium was ensured through repeated shaking and centrifuging of a dibromomethane and water mixture in a stoppered Goetz tube and returning the sample to a constant temperature water bath. The difference between the total amount of dibromomethane which  was added and the amount remaining in excess was taken as the amount of dibromomethane dissolved in the known volume of water. The determination of the excess amount of dibromomethane added is described by Hanslick (ref. 1).

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Commericial reagent, C.P. grade, used as received.
   (2) Distilled.

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