Abstract: | Abstract Excess molar volumes vE have been measured for the binary liquid mixtures of propyl ethanoate with five n-alkanes (n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, n-nonane and n-decane) at 298.15 and 308.15 K, using an Anton Paar densimeter. All the mixtures studied present positive vE values that increase with the length of the chain of the alkane and with the temperature. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of the Nitta—Chao model. |
