Excess volumes and densities of binary mixtures of γ-butyrolactone + 1, 3, 5-trimethylbenzene or 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene at several temperatures

Densities of two binary mixtures formed by γ-butyrolactone with 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene have been determined over the full range of compositions over the temperature range (288.15 K to 308.15 K) and the local barometric pressure using a vibrating-tube densimeter. From these experiments, excess molar volumes () have been calculated. It is found to be positive with a maximum at about the mole fraction of 0.5. Excess volumes were also fitted to a Redlich–Kister type equation. Our result shows increases when temperature increases in the studied systems.
