 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A mixture of water and dichloromethane was agitated in a flask until equilibrium was established. The apparatus was assembled in a water thermostat bath. The equilibrium was established after 30 minutes. The pipette used for withdrawing samples from the mixture was fitted  with a cotton wool filter at the tip to prevent ice particles from being withdrawn at low temperatures. The organic layer was titrated with Karl Fischer reagent.
