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

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Source not given. Chemically pure grade.
   (2) Distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not specified.
   Temperature: ± 1.0 K (compiler).
