EXCESS MOLAR VOLUMES AT THE 308.15 K FOR CONSTITUENT BINARIES OF N-DECANE, N-DODECANE, 1-DECANOL AND 1-DODECANOL

Excess molar volumes (V(m)E) of constituent binary mixtures of n-decan e, n-dodecane, 1-decanol and 1-dodecanol which are the products of liq uid phase oxidation of n-paraffins, have been measured experimentally as a function of composition x from density measurements at 308.15 K. The excess molar volumes of n-decane-n-dodecane system have negative d eviation from the ideality while that of n-dodecane-1-decanol system h ave positive deviation. In the other systems, excess molar volume exhi bits inversion in sign. Experimental data were successfully correlated with Redlich-Kister polynomial.
