301161.16 x 10-21.260
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   250 cm3 bottles were filled with distilled and deionized water and sealed. A measured volume of tetrachloroethene was injected into the bottles through each septum using a microliter syringe. Tetrachloroethene was in excess of the  anticipated solubility limit. The bottles were shaken for one 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 Carbopack column and a FID detector. The GC was response was compared with the calibration plots.

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

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