Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
A mixture of 10 to 20 mL tetrachloromethane in 500 mL of an aqueous solution of $\ce{MgSO4}$ was placed in a water thermostat bath. The sample container was placed on a shaker and agitated until no more liquid droplets remained undissolved. One or more samples were syphoned out and the concentration of tetrachloromethane was determined using a Zeiss water interferometer.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Source not given. Commercial reagent, fractionally distilled before use.
- Kahlbaum chemical, certified grade.
- Distilled.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±0.01 K.
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±5%.
Components:
- Tetrachloromethane, $\ce{ CCl4 }$; [56-23-5] NIST WebBook
- Magnesium sulfate, $\ce{ MgSO4 }$; [7487-88-9] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
