Room Temp: 25.0 °C

Methodology:

Between 25 and 100 mL 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene and 1 to 2 mL $\ce{D2O}$ were placed in a flask and shaken for about 90 min. The thermostat water bath temperature was maintained within ±0.05 °C. Then, a sample was removed and the amount of $\ce{D2O}$ dissolved was determined by a modified Karl Fischer titration [1]. The original report was unavailable; however, the method and the results were described in sufficient detail in [1]. The solubility of $\ce{H2O}$ in 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene was also determined and found to be 0.01123 mol[1]/kg. The average deviation for two experiments was ±0.00006 mol[1]/kg.

Sample Information:

1. Carefully purified and dried before use. Source and method not given.
2. Source not specified.

Measurement Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±0.05 K.
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): av. dev. ±2.1 × 10^-5 mol D₂O/100 g solution.
