In this work we analyze the temperature dependence of the speed of sound, density, and refractive index of binary mixtures of acetone, methanol, and linear aliphatic alkanes (hexane, heptane, or octane) at atmospheric pressure. From the experimental measurements of these physical properties, the corresponding excess molar volumes, isentropic compressibility deviations, and refractive index deviations were derived. A set of variable-degree polynomials have been fitted to the results. Despite the large excess molar volumes obtained, they were satisfactorily correlated by a cubic equation of state with simple combinatorial mixing rules.
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.
