 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   An aqueous solution with an excess amount of tetrachloroethene was stirred for one day before being introduced into a one liter glass vessel. Nitrogen entered at the bottom of the vessel through a sintered glass disk. The exit gas flow rate was  measured by a soap bubble flow meter. The concentration of tetrachloroethene in water was determined by gas chromatography. The GC was equipped with both a dual flame ionization detector and an electron capture detector.

   (2) Doubly distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not specified.
   Temperature: ± 1.0 K.
