Variables:

Room Temp: 288 $\pu{K}$

Prepared by:

A.L. Horvath

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

Weighted mixtures of water and trichloromethane were shaken in sealed tubes in a water bath until the equilibrium had been established. After separation in two layers, a sample of the organic phase was taken and the water content of the mixture was determined by titration with a solution of cobalt chloride in anhydrous acetone. For further details, see [1].

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. Distilled.
2. Commercial grade, washed with $\ce{H2SO4}$ and $\ce{K2CO3}$ solutions, followed by distillation before use.

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±0.05 K (compiler).
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): Not specified.
