Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Tetrachloromethane (carbon tetrachloride) with Water
Components:
   (1) Water; H2O; [7732-18-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Tetrachloromethane (carbon tetrachloride); CCl4; [56-23-5]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Kirchnerova, J.; Cave, G.C.B., Can. J. Chem. 1976, 54(24), 3909-16.

 Variables:
   Temperature = 298 K

 Prepared By:
   A. L. Horvath

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
  
t/°CConcentration c1 [mol m**-3]102 * Mass Fraction w1 (compiler) 104 * Mole Fraction x1 (compiler)
258.79.96 x 10-38.5
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A bottle containing a mixture of 50 ml tetrachloromethane and 6 ml water was submerged into a water thermostat bath for two days. The concentration of water in the organic phase was determined by a conventional Karl Fischer deadstop backtitration. The determination was  carried out in triplicate. A detailed description of the complete procedure is given in a Ph. D. thesis (ref. 1).

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Distilled and deionized.
   (2) Fisher - C199, washed with H2SO4 and K2CO3 solutions and finally with water. Dried over silica gel and fractionally distilled. Purity was better than 99.8 %.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 0.2 c1 std. dev.
   Temperature: ± 0.1 K.
