Mixing Properties of the System Methyl Acetate + Methanol + Ethanol at 298.15 K

Abstract

This paper reports measurements of the densities and refractive indices of the ternary system methyl acetate + methanol + ethanol and the corresponding binary systems methyl acetate + methanol, methyl acetate + ethanol, and methanol + ethanol at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. A vibrating tube digital densimeter and a refractometer of synthetic sapphire prism (sodium D wavelengh) were used, the whole mole fraction range being covered. Excess molar volumes and deviations of the refractive indices on mixing were determined. Polynomials have been fitted to the results, the computed parameters being shown.
