Variables:

Ambient temperature: 283 - 303 K

Prepared by:

A.L. Horvath

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

250 cm³ bottles were filled with distilled, deionized water and sealed. Measured volumes of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane were injected into the bottles through each bottle septum using a microliter syringe. The solute was in excess of the anticipated solubility limit. The bottles were shaken for 1 hour with a wrist-action shaker and allowed to equilibrate for about three weeks. Samples were then injected into a gas chromatograph equipped with a Carbo-pack column and a FID detector.The GC responses were compared with calibration plots to establish concentrations.

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. Probably a commercial reagent, at least 99% pure, used as received.
2. Distilled and deionized.

Estimated Errors:

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