t/°CConcentration c1 [mol m**-3]102 * Mass Fraction w1 (compiler) 105 * Mole Fraction x1 (compiler)
254.927.58 x 10-28.88
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   An excess of tetrachloromethane was added to a stainless steel tube containing water and then the tube was sealed. It was allowed to equilibrate during shaking for a week at 25oC. After centrifugation the concentration was obtained from a measu rement of radioactivity through liquid scintillation counting. The solubility procedure was carried out at least twice for each sample and the analysis was done in duplicate.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) New England Nuclear, used as received.
   (2) Distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 2.5 % std. dev.
   Temperature: ± 0.3 K.
