The densities of solutions of methacrylic acid in acetonitrile, benzene, hexane, 1,2 dichloro ethane, and acetic acid at a temperature of 293 K and atmospheric pressure are determined by means of pyc nometry. The values of the excess molar volume for the studied systems and those of the partial molar volumes of the components are calculated. It is found that the excess molar volume of binary systems of methacrylic acid with benzene, hexane, 1,2 dichloroethane, and acetic acid is positive over the range of concentrations and is negative in the methacrylic acid-acetonitrile system.
