Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
A cloud point method was used for the quantitative determination of mutual solubility. Water was added to the liquid sample drop by drop from a burette and the cloud point was found by visual observation. The determination of the solubility of trichloroethene in water was accomplished by a quantitative hydrolysis reaction with aqueous $\ce{KOH}$ solution for three hours at 150 °C in a sealed Carius tube. The chlorine content was determined by the Volhard method.
