Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
A modification of the EPICS (Equilibrium Partitioning in Closed Systems) procedure was used for measuring Henry's law constants. A precise quantity of dichloromethane was injected into serum bottles which contained distilled water. The bottles were incubated for 18 - 24 hours at four desired temperatures in a reciprocating shaker bath. The headspace concentrations of the EPICS bottles were measured using a gas chromatograph which was equipped with a flame ionization detector. The mean of the coefficient of variation values was approximately 4.3 %.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Burdick & Jackson reagent, pesticide grade. Distilled in a glass set-up before use.
- distilled.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±0.1 K.
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): See above.
Components:
- Dichloromethane, $\ce{ CH2Cl2 }$; [75-09-2] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
