Variables:

Room Temp: 298 $\pu{K}$

Prepared by:

A.L. Horvath

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

An excess quantity of trichloromethane was added to water and stirred vigorously for 24 hours. After settling at 25 °C for 48 hours, the solution was extracted with cyclohexane. The samples were analyzed using an Aminco-Bowman spectrophotofluorometer. A detailed description of the method has been reported elsewhere [1].

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. Aldrich Chemicals, highest grade, used as received.
2. Double distilled.

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±0.2 K (compiler).
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): Not specified.
