The densities and adiabatic compressibilities have been measured at 288.15 K for solutions of NaCI, KCI, CsCI, NaBr, KBr, [Ph4P]CI, and Na[Ph4B] dissolved In water-acetone mixtures up to acetone content 50 wt %. The partial molar volume V 2 and partial molar adiabatic compressibilities Kt°h ave been calculated. Variation with composition of the solvent system was more remarkable for K°than for V2. in solvents containing more than 10 wt % of acetone, K,°o f [Ph4P]CI and Na[Ph4B] were positive, while all the other 1-1 type salts always had negative K°values. Ionic division of K,°o f an electrolyte based on the assumption /fs°([Ph4P]+) = fta0([Ph4B]~) seems unacceptable In this mixed solvent.
