Abstract: | Excess molar volumes of {(1?xA)CH3(CH2)n?1OH+xACH3CN} for n=1, 2, 3 or 4 as a function of composition under atmospheric pressure at 288.15, 293.15, 298.15 and 303.15 K have been used to test the applicability of the Prigogine–Flory–Patterson theory. According to the model, interactional contribution is the most important one to explain the VmE behavior. Good agreement is only achieved for the mixtures containing methanol (C1) or 1-butanol (C4). For the mixtures containing ethanol (C2) and 1-propanol (C3), which show an S-shaped VmE behavior, the correlation fails. |
