 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The saturation of tetrachloromethane with water occurred in a closed system, protected from atmospheric moisture; the saturating vessel was placed in a constant temperature water bath. The concentration of water in tetrachloromethane was measured using the Karl  Fischer titration method with a "dead stop" end-point determination (ref. 1). Fifteen observations were made at each temperature.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Distilled.
   (2) Source not given. Reagent grade, purified by distillation before use.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: See above.
   Temperature: ± 0.1 K (compiler).
