The diffusion coefficient of water in organic liquids close to infinite dilution and at 25°C was measured using the diaphragm cell method in the following solvents, for which measurements have not previously been made: n-butyl acetate, n-butyric acid, toluene, methylene chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, 1,1,2,2tetrachloroethane, 2-bromo-2-chloro-l ,1,1-trifluoroethane, nitrobenzene, and pyridine. The first two liquids fit the Olander equation and the next seven the original Wilke-Chang equation, while the last is intermediate between the two. For pyridine, the effect of dissolved nitrogen has been found to reduce the diffusion coefficient of water by about 30%.
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.
