 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Observations were made after vigorous shaking in glass-stoppered graduated tubes of 15 mL capacity, immersed in water baths in large Dewar flasks. The water was agitated with a rapid stream of air bubbles. The temperature was adjusted by adding cooler or warmer water occasionally.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Eastman Kodak Co.; distilled through a 30 cm column; b. p. = 101.25 °C, m. p. = -30.5 °C, n(20 °C, D) = 1.3820, d(25 °C) = 1129.8 g·L-1.
