Volumetric properties of binary mixtures of alcoxyethanols with tert-butyl ethyl ether at various temperatures

Densities at 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K of the binary liquid mixtures made of tert-butyl ethyl ether with either 2-ethoxyethanol, or 2-(2-ethoxy)ethoxyethanol, or 2-2-(2-ethoxy)ethoxy]ethoxyethanol have been measured over the whole mixture compositions. These data have been used to compute the excess molar volumes (V^E). The excess molar volumes always are negative over the entire range of composition for all the binary mixtures investigated. The changes of V^E with variations of the composition and the chain-length of the alkyl groups in the alkoxyethanol molecules are discussed in terms of possible intermolecular interactions.
