Excess volume of mixing and excess enthalpies of mixing of ethyl iodide + aromatic hydrocarbons at 25�C

Abstract

The excess volumes and enthalpies of mixing of binary mixtures of ethyl iodide with benzene, toluene, o-xylene, m-xylene and p-xylene have been measured experimentally over the whole composition range at 25°C. Qualitatively the data have been explained on the basis of electron donoracceptor interactions between the ethyl iodide and aromatic hydrocarbons and also on the loss of favorable orientational order of the pure components. Flory's theory correctly predicts the sign and to some extent magnitude of the VE and HE values.
