Solubilities, densities, and refractive indices data have been measured for the ternary systems KCl +
C2H5OH + H2O and NaCl + C2H5OH + H2O at (298.15 and 313.15) K, with mass fractions of ethanol
ranging from 0 to 0.9. Polynomial equations of fit are proposed for solubility of the saturated solutions as
a function of the mass fraction of ethanol. Density and refractive index were also determined for the
same ternary systems with varied undersaturated salt concentrations. Values for both properties were
correlated with the salt concentrations and proportions of alcohol in the solutions. The equations proposed
also account for the saturated solutions. Finally, data are also presented on the equilibrium of the
quaternary system KCl + NaCl + C2H5OH + H2O at (298.15 and 313.15) K. The solubility equilibrium
was obtained beginning from supersaturated solutions of both salts using a known ethanol-to-water ratio.
The concentrations, densities, and refractive indices were determined for the saturated solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
