 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Pure trichloromethane was dropped from a fine capillary pipette into a tared graduated flask containing distilled water. Samples in a series of flasks of various sizes were prepared and placed on a rotary shaking machine. After several days shaking, an  equilibrium was established. The solubility was determined from the decreased amount of trichloromethane.
