 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A weighted amount of tetrachloromethane was mixed with 1000 g water in a bottle and immersed in a water thermostat. The bottle was placed on a shaker until no more droplets of the liquid remained undissolved. The concentration of the tetrachloromethane in water was determined by  using a Zeiss water interferometer. One or more samples were syphoned out for the determination of the solubility.The German translation is also published (ref. 1).

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Kahlbaum's sulfur-free analytical reagent, used as received.
   (2) Distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 5 %.
   Temperature: ± 0.01 K.
