258.28 x 10-29.73 x 10-39.78.3
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A mixture of water and tetrachloromethane was placed in a glass stoppered flask and was shaken intermittently for at least three days in a water bath held at constant temperature. The organic phase was analyzed for water content by the Karl Fischer method  and the aqueous phase was analyzed by using an interferometer.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Reagent grade, purified by fractional distillation.
   (2) Purified by distillation.

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