 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   250 cm3 bottles were filled with distilled, deionized water and sealed. Measured volumes of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane were injected into the bottles through each bottle septum using a microliter syringe. The solute was in excess  of the anticipated solubility limit. The bottles were shaken for 1 hour with a wrist-action shaker and allowed to equilibrate for about three weeks. Samples were then injected into a gas chromatograph equipped with a Carbo-pack column and a FID detector. The GC responses were compared with calibration plots to establish concentrations.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Probably a commercial reagent, at least 99 % pure, used as received.
   (2) Distilled and deionized.

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