503.05 x 10-22.601.69 x 10-3
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The Alexejew's synthetic method of solubility determination was used (ref. 1). A fixed weight of water and tetrachloromethane was sealed in a tube and subjected to a gradually increasing temperature with constant agitation. The appearence of an opalescence or clouding  was an indication of saturation temperature. The temperature was then allowed to fall and an observation made, while the tube was constantly agitated, to establish the temperature of the first appearance of opalescence. The observation was repeated several times.

 Source and Purity of Materials:

   (2) Source not given. Chemically pure grade, dried and redistilled before use.

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