ml of 0.049 N NaOH Flgure 5. Titration of the aqueous phase after extraction with 0.17 N (2.2 wt %) tributylamine in chloroform.indicates an advantage for higher molecular weight amines. Along this line, the water-soluble base in TOPO solvent mixtures, noted in Experimental Procedure, should be explored and identified as TOPO itself, an impurity in the TOPO and/or a complex of TOPO and acetic acid.Formic Acid ws. Acetic Acid. Tables I X and X compare the extractions of formic acid and acetic acid with various phosphoryl and amine solvents. In all cases the formic acid is more ef-fectively extracted. The results for the amines agree with other authors (5, 6 ) , who have found that these solvents extract stronger acids more effectively.
AcknowledgmentThe authors acknowledge helpful discussion withThe liquid-vapor equiiibrlum has been determined in the ternary system hexamethyidisiioxane (HMDS)-CHCi3-CS2 by employing the ebuiiiometric method under isobaric conditions at an atmospheric pressure of 758 mmHg. The infrared spectroscopic technique has been used for determlnatlon of the composition of the liquid and vapor phases. Analytical bands for HMDS, CS2, and CHCIS were 2900, 2160, and 3010 cm-', respectlvely. The system has been found to form one phase and to be reotroplc. Table I. Excess Volumes of Mixtures Containing Tetrahydrofuran at 298.15 K The excess enthalpies and excess volumes of mixtures of tetrahydrofuran wlth benzene, toluene, and xylenes were measured at 298.15 K as a function of composition. HEand VE values have been found to be negative for these systems. These results are consistent with complex formation between the unlike molecules and provide further evidence for electron donor capaclty of ethers with aromatlc hydrocarbons.
