Effect of temperature on the excess molar volumes of some alcohol plus aromatic mixtures and modelling by cubic EOS mixing rules

Densities of the (methanol + benzene), (ethanol + benzene), (methanol + chlorobenzene) and (ethanol + chlorobenzene) mixtures have been measured at six temperatures (288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K) and 101.33 kPa. Excess molar volumes 19 were determined and fitted by the Redlich-Kister equation. It was observed that in all cases V-E increases with rising of temperature. The values of limiting excess partial molar volumes have been calculated, as well. The obtained results have been analysed in terms of specific molecular interactions present in these mixtures taking into considerations effect of temperature on them. The correlation of V-E binary data was performed with the Peng-Robinson-Stryjek-Vera cubic equation of state (PRSV CEOS) coupled with the van der Waals (vdWI) and CEOS/G(E) mixing rule introduced by Twu, Coon, Bluck and Tilton (TCBT). The experimental values of V-E were compared with those estimated by both mixing rules at the temperature range and on each temperature, separately. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All fights reserved.
