Thermodynamic studies of some binary mixtures containing a self-associated component. II. Excess volumes of some mixtures of tetrahydrofuran with alcohols

Excess volumes of mixing, V^E, for binary mixtures of tetrahydrofuran (THF) with methanol, ethanol, n-butanol, tert-butanol, 2-bromoethanol and ethylene glycol have been determined from the experimental density measurements at 298.15 K over the entire composition range. The V^E data follow the order: ethylene glycol < 2-bromoethanol < methanol < ethanol < n-butanol < tert-butanol. The results have been explained in terms of self-association and the hydrogen bond-donating abilities of alcohols.
