Pj. Back et La. Woolf, (P,V,T,X) MEASUREMENTS FOR TETRAHYDROFURAN AND (XC(4)H(8)O-X)H2O)((1), Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics, 30(3), 1998, pp. 353-364
The effect of pressure on the volume of tetrahydrofuran (THF) has been
measured as the ratio of the volume under pressure to its value at 0.
1 MPa pressure with a bellows volumometer for temperatures from T = (2
78 to 323) K at pressures up to 300 MPa. Similar measurements have bee
n made for two of its mixtures with water, x(THF) = (0.25 and 0.5) for
temperatures from T = (288 to 338) K. The data have been fitted with
two equations of state. Densities at atmospheric pressure have been me
asured for THF and for aqueous mixtures of THF. For the latter the den
sities cover the composition range (0.2 less than or equal to x less t
han or equal to 0.8) at the temperatures (288, 298, and 313)K and smal
ler ranges of composition at higher temperatures. Isothermal compressi
bilities, volume fluctuations, thermal expansivities, and the change i
n isobaric heat capacity from its value at 0.1 MPa pressure have been
calculated. Significant features on these properties are discussed. (C
