 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
  
t/°CConcentration c1 [mol m**-3]102 * Mass Fraction w1 (compiler) 103 * Mole Fraction x1 (compiler)Comment(s)
259.81.8 x 10-21.53coulometric
258.81.6 x 10-21.36total pressure
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Two methods were used for the water concentration in tetrachloromethane determination. After equilibration in a thermostated closed system, samples were withdrawn and analyzed for total water content using a coulometric Karl Fischer titrator. In the second method, the total pressure of the saturated solution was measured in a liquid-vapor equilibrium still  apparatus. Full details are described in the Ph. D. thesis; see also (ref. 1).

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Distilled.
   (2) Fischer reagent, refluxed with Hg and redistilled before use.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 12 %.
   Temperature: ± 0.1 K.
