SOLUBILITY OF ANTHRACENE IN BINARY ALCOHOL PLUS 2-METHOXYETHANOL SOLVENT MIXTURES

Experimental solubilities are reported for anthracene dissolved in. se ven binary mixtures containing 2-methoxyethanol with l-propanol, a-pro panol, l-butanol, a-butanol, l-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 being on the order of 0.5%.
