100.75 ± 0.066.54 x 10-27.66
150.90 ± 0.076.84 x 10-28.02
201.05 ± 0.077.28 x 10-28.53
251.30 ± 0.107.24 x 10-28.48
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The measurements involved repeated equilibrations of nitrogen with a water sample containing tetrachloromethane. The mixture was shaken vigorously at the required temperature in a constant temperature bath for 30 minutes. The equilibrated gas phase was then  injected into a gas chromatograph for analysis. The experiments were performed at least three times at 10, 15, 20, and 25oC. Each run at constant temperature involved about six equilibrations.
