Variables:

Ambient temperature: 298 K

A.L. Horvath

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

An aqueous solution with an excess amount of 1-chloro-2-methylpropane was stirred for one day before being introduced into a one liter glass vessel. Nitrogen entered at the bottom of the vessel through a sintered glass disk. The exit gas flow rate was measured by a soap bubble flow meter. The concentration of 1-chloro-2-methylpropane in water was determined by gas chromatography. The GC was equipped with both a dual flame ionization detector and an electron capture detector.

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. Source and purity not given.
2. Double distilled.

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±1.0 K.
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): Not specified.
