 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   An excess of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane was added to a stainless steel tube containing water and the tube was sealed. It was allowed to equilibrate during shaking for a week at 25 °C. After centrifugation, the sample was analyzed for  radioactivity using a liquid scintillation counter. The solubility determination was repeated 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: ± 0.6 % std. dev.
   Temperature: ± 0.3 K.
