Densities, Viscosities, and Refractive Indices for Binary and Ternary Mixtures of Acetone, Ethanol, and 2,2,4-Trimethylpentane

Abstract

Densities, viscosities, and refractive indices of the ternary system acetone + ethanol + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane at T = 298.15 K and the binary systems acetone + ethanol, acetone + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, and ethanol + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane were measured at T = (288.15, 298.15, and 308.15) K and atmospheric pressure over the whole composition range. Densities were determined using a vibrating-tube density meter. Viscosities were measured with an automatic Ubbelohde capillary viscometer. Refractive indices were measured using a digital Abbe-type refractometer. Excess molar volumes VE, deviations in the viscosity from the mole fraction average Δη, and deviations in the refractive index from the volume fraction average ΔnD for the mixtures were derived from experimental data. The binary and ternary data of VE, Δη, and ΔnD were correlated with liquid composition by using the Redlich−Kister and Cibulka equations.
