Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A 50 g tetrachloromethane sample was shaken with pure water in a 100 ml Erlenmeyer flask. The two phases were separated when equilibrium had been established. The organic phase was analyzed for water using the Karl Fischer titration method. Five determinations were performed.
