Apparent molar volumes and heat capacities of aqueous solutions of sodium benzenesulfonate at 25 degrees C

Apparent molar volumes and heat capacities of sodium benzenesulfonate have been measured at 25 degrees C and at molalities up to 1.1 molal using a Picker flow densimeter and a Picker flow heat capacity calorimeter. Data for both properties have been modeled with Fitter equations for the respective functions, and the standard state values evaluated. The apparent molar volume of sodium benzenesulfonate appears to be relatively insensitive to sample preparation. Possible reasons for the difference in the apparent molar volume reported here and the literature value are discussed.
