Excess molar volumes V-m(E) at 318.15 K and atmospheric pressure for 1-prop
anol or 1-hexanol + dibutyl ether, 1-propanol or 1-hexanol + 2,5-dioxahexan
e, 1-propanol or 1-hexanol + 2,5,8-trioxanonane, 1-propanol or 1-hexanol 3,6,9-trioxaundecane and 1-propanol or 1-hexanol + 5,8,11-trioxapentadecane
, have been obtained from densities measured with an Anton-Paar DMA 602 vib
rating-tube densimeter. All the excess volumes are negative over the whole
mole fraction range, except for the systems 1-propanol + 2,5,8-trioxanonane
, which is S-shaped, and for 1-hexanol $ 2,5-dioxahexane or 1-hexanol + 2,5
,8-trioxanonane which are positive over the whole mole fraction range. For
the systems with 1-propanol the V-m(E) curves are shifted to the region ric
h in the alkanol, increasing their asymmetry with the number of oxygen grou
ps in the ether. For 1- hexanol systems the V-m(E) curves are symmetrical.
This behaviour can be attributed to free volume effects.
The sign of dV(m)(E)/dT is discussed. Systems with 1-propanol are character
ized by dV(m)(E)/dT > 4 which may be due to the more self-associated charac
ter of the alcohol. In solutions with 1-hexanol, the sign of dV(m)(E)/dT de
pends on the ether considered, i.e. on the balance between the interactiona
l and structural contributions. So, if the latter are more important, then
dV(m)(E)/dT > 0.
Results remark the differences between systems containing n-alkanols and mo
noethers or polyethers. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
