Molar excess volumes of furfuryl alcohol and aromatic hydrocarbons at 25°C

Molar excess volumes of mixing V^E for binary mixtures of furfuryl alcohol with the aromatic hydrocarbons benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and o-, m-, and p-xylene were determined for the entire composition range at 25°C. V^E was negative for the mixtures containing benzene, toluene and pxylene but positive for mixtures containing ethylbenzene and o- and m-xylene. The results are discussed in terms of specific interaction present in the binary mixture and are compared with those previously reported for tetrahydrofuran, fur an or furfural binary mixtures with aromatic hydrocarbons.
