| Abstract: | Abstract Experimental solubilities are reported for anthracene dissolved in six binary alcohol + butyl acetate solvent mixtures at 25° C. The alcohol cosolvents studied were 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol. Results of these measurements are used to test a mathematical representation based upon the combined Nearly Ideal Binary Solvent (NIBS)/Redlich-Kister equation. For the six systems studied, the Combined NIBS/Redlich-Kister equation was found to mathematically describe the experimental data, with overall average absolute deviations between measured and calculated values being approximately\pm 0.6%. |
