 Notes:
   a  Cited value in the original paper is in error (complier).

 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A supersaturated solution of tetrachloroethene in water was agitated for two hours at 20 °C. After storing for 2 hours the water phase was filtered through Whatman No. 2 filter paper before analysis. The concentration of tetrachloroethene in  was determined by gas chromatography or by ultraviolet spectroscopy.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Source not given, analytical grade reagent.
   (2) Distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not specified.
   Temperature: ± 1 K.
