 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The solubility determination was carried out in small test tubes (e. g., 100 x 12 mm) to permit vigorous shaking of dichloromethane and water mixtures. During the experiment 0.20 cm3 dichloromethane was added to 3.0 cm3 of water andshaked. The amount of  dichloromethane dissolved in water was analyzed by passing the samples through a chromatographic column.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Commercial reagent, purified by washing with concentrated sulfuric acid before use.
   (2) Distilled.

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