Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Tetrachloromethane (carbon tetrachloride) with Water

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:
   Booth, H.S.; Everson, H.E., Ind. Eng. Chem. 1949, 41, 2627-8.

Variables:
   Temperature = 298 K - 333 K

Prepared By:
   A. L. Horvath

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)

25.10.1591.86
60.10.1591.86
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The solute-solvent mixture in a solubility tube was gently rotated while the tube was immersed in a constant temperature bath. The difference between the total amount of solute and the amount remaining in excess was taken as the amount of solute dissolved in the  known volume of solvent. The volumetric determination is described elsewhere (ref. 1).

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Commercial reagent, C. P. grade, used as received.
   (2) Distilled.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not specified.
   Temperature: ± 0.1 K.
