 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Water was saturated with tetrachloroethene in a thermostatted round bottomed flask fitted with a stirrer and a mercury seal. The stirring was continued for several days until equilibrium between the two liquids was established. The analysis of the  saturated aqueous solution was carried out using a gas chromatograph. The column was filled with Cromosorb W, impregnated with Apiezon I. The helium carrier gas flow rate was 500 cm3/minute.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Type "pure" (METU 6-00 No. 6590-70), redistilled and checked by GLC.
   (2) Distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 1.74 %.
   Temperature: ± 0.2 K.
