100.82 ± 0.016.19 x 10-27.25
150.95 ± 0.106.68 x 10-27.83
201.21 ± 0.046.49 x 10-27.61
251.43 ± 0.056.73 x 10-27.89
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The method involved repeated equilibrations of nitrogen with a water sample containing tetrachloromethane. The sample was shaken vigorously at the required temperature in a constant temperature bath for 30 minutes. The equilibrated gas phase was then inje cted into a gas chromatograph. The experiments were performed at least three times at 10, 15, 20, and 25oC, each experiment involving about six equilibrations.
