 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Chloroethane was saturated with water by evaporating it and mixing its vapor with steam and condensing the mixture. The condensate in a closed vessel was mixed and allowed to stand until the two layers became quite clear. Samples were taken from  the saturated chloroethane layer and a weighed amount distilled through tubes containing CaCl2 and P2O5. The amount of water trapped in the drying tubes gave the water solubility in chloroethane.
