A systematic study on volumetric interactions of cyclohexanone with various aliphatic hydrocarbons
Excess volumes of mixing, VE, for binary mixtures of eyelohexanone with n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, n-nonane, n-decane, n-dodecane, n-tetradecane, and n-hexadecane at 25 °C were determined from the precise and accurate experimental density data. The sign and magnitude of VE were discussed in terms of the strength of the unlike interactions present in the binary mixtures.Excess volumes of mixing of equimolar concentration [Formula: see text] were also obtained. Attempts were made to interpret [Formula: see text] in terms of the size and polarity of the constituent molecule. The two effects could not be separated, but a good linear relation between [Formula: see text] and the solubility parameter was found.
