Excess Volumes of Mixing: The Benzene + Trichloroethylene System
Abstract
The excess volume function for the benzene + trichloroethylene (TCE) system was studied at temperatures of 10, 25, 30, and 40 C in this investigation. Prior to describing this system, benzene + cyclohexane at 25 C, the test system, was analyzed to determine the ability of the investigator to obtain accurate results with the apparatus and procedures described in this week. The results of the test system were in excellent agreement with those of other experiments and with the parameters described by Handa and Benson in their summary of the system. The excess volume function of each system studied was described by a smoothing equation that was derived from an average of 72 data points per system. All of these systems were found to have excess volume curves that were uniformly positive in shape. The benzene + TCE system at all temperatures had maximum values at about 58 percent benzene. This maximum value for the excess volume was related to temperature by the equation VeT = .00140 * T + .653697, where T is in K and is in cc/mol.
