Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Tetrachloromethane (carbon tetrachloride); CCl4; [56-23-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Bell, R.P., J. Chem. Soc. 1932, 2905-11.

 Variables:
   Temperature = 288 K - 298 K

t/°Cg1/V2 [kg m**-3]102 * Mass Fraction w1 (compiler) 104 * Mole Fraction x1 (compiler)
156.35 x 10-23.96 x 10-33.38
207.67 x 10-24.81 x 10-34.10
259.35 x 10-25.90 x 10-35.03
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   An about 1 to 5 ratio of water/tetrachloromethane mixture was rotated in a thermostat for 12 hours. After the equilibrium was attained, samples were taken and filtered through cottonwool. The determination of the water content was based upon the reaction with a-naphthoxydichlorophosphine. The evolved HCl was absorbed in water and titrated with NaOH solution (ref. 1). Two to three successive determinations were carried out with the tetrachloromethane.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Distilled (compiler).
   (2) Merck reagent, analytical grade, redistilled before use.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 4.4 % mean.
   Temperature: ± 0.02 K.
