SOLUBILITY OF ANTHRACENE IN BINARY ALCOHOL PLUS 2-ETHYL-1-HEXANOL SOLVENT MIXTURES

Experimental solubilities are reported for anthracene dissolved in sev en binary mixtures containing 2-ethyl-1-hexanol with 1-propanol, 2-pro panol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 1-octanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, and 3-met hyl-1-butanol at 25 degrees C. Results of these measurements are used to test two mathematical representations based upon the combined nearl y ideal binary solvent (NIBS)/Redlich-Kister equation and modified Wil son model. For the seven systems studied, both equations were found to provide an accurate mathematical representation of the experimental d ata, with an overall average absolute deviation between measured and c alculated values on the order of 0.6%.
