 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Tetrachloromethane was shaken with water for about 12 hours in a liquid paraffin thermostat bath. The water content of the organic phase was determined by the Karl Fischer titration method. All measurements were done in duplicates. The results were averages of  two measurements at each temperature. A full description of the method used is given in a Ph. D. thesis (ref. 1).

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Distilled.
   (2) Source and purity not given.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not specified.
   Temperature: ± 0.5 K (compiled).
