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).
