Original Measurements

Andrews, L. J.; Keefer, R. M.; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1951, 73, 5733-6.

Variables:

Room Temp: 298 $\pu{K}$

Prepared by:

A.L. Horvath

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

Water was mixed with diiodomethanme in a glass-stoppered Erlenmeyer flask which was then placed in a constant temperature bath and rotated for 30 hours. The organic halide content of the aqueous solution was extracted with n-hexane. The optical density of the extract was measured against a nhexane blank using a Beckman spectrophotometer [1].

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. Prepared from iodoform at the University of California; BP = 71.0 - 71.5°C at 18 mmHg.
2. Distilled (compiler).

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±0.5 K (compiler).
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): Not specified.
