304.14 x 10-24.652.30 x 10-3
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Water was shaken with pentachloroethane for about 12 hours in a paraffin liquid bath thermostat. The water content of the organic phase was determined by the Karl Fischer titration method. All measurements were carried out in duplicate.  The result is an average of two measurements. A full description of the method used is given in a thesis.1

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

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not specified.
   Temperature: ± 0.5 K (compiler).
