The bulk properties of the water-dimethylsulfoxide system at 278–323.15 K and atmospheric pressure

Abstract

The densities of water-dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) mixtures were measured over the temperature range 278–323.15 K and over the whole range of compositions at atmospheric pressure. The partial molar volumes of water and dimethylsulfoxide, mixture volumetric thermal expansion coefficients, and partial molar volumetric thermal expansion coefficients of the components were calculated. The composition dependences of the density of the mixture passed a maximum at x ∼ 0.6 at all temperatures (x is the mole fraction of dimethylsulfoxide). The composition dependences of the partial molar volumes of water and DMSO also passed extrema.
