 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A tetrachloromethane - air mixture was bubbled through 50 cm3 distilled water contained in a gas absorption bottle with a sintered glass plate. Equilibrium was reached in 3/4 hour with a gas flow of 50 cm3/mim. The saturated solution  was transferred to a measuring cylinder and shaken with toluene. The toluene extraction was allowed to settle and then analyzed for tetrachloromethane by the addition of pyridine and alkali; see (ref. 1).

   (2) Distilled.

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