t/°CDistribution coefficient, DL102 * Mass Fraction w1 (compiler) 105 * Mole Fraction x1 (compiler)
370.253.78 x 10-24.43
 Notes:
   1  Water-air system analysis parameter, from calibration measurements.

 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Tetrachloromethane vapor was equilibrated in an airtight vial with water and the overlying air. When equilibrium was reached, a portion of the equilibrated air in the vessel was withdrawn using an air-tight syringe and this sample was injected into a gas  chromatograph for analysis. The chromatogram peak height was used to calculate the distribution coefficient.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Source and purity not given.
   (2) Distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 0.04 std. dev.
   Temperature: ± 0.5 K (compiler).
