SOLUBILITY OF ANTHRACENE IN BINARY ALKANE PLUS 2-METHYL-1-PROPANOL SOLVENT MIXTURES

Experimental solubilities are reported for anthracene dissolved in sev en binary mixtures containing 2-methyl-1-propanol with hexane, heptane , octane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, 2,2,4-trimethYlPentane, and tert-butylcyclohexane at 25-degrees-C. Results of these measurements a re used to test two mathematical representations based upon the combin ed nearly ideal binary solvent (NIBS)/Redlich-Kister equation and modi fied Wilson model. For the systems studied, the combined NIBS/Redlich- Kister and modified Wilson equations were found to provide very reason able mathematical representations with deviations between experimental and back-calculated values being on the order of +/-1.5% or less.
