Vapor pressures and apparent molal volumes of the solutions of ZnCl 2 in ethanol at 298.15 K

Abstract

Vapor pressures and apparent molal volumes of solutions of ZnCl 2 in ethanol are reported at 298.15 K. The vapor pressure of ethanol has been evaluated from the osmotic coefficients measured by an improved isopiestic method. The experimental osmotic coefficients have been correlated with the Pitzer model and local composition models including electrolyte non-random two liquid (e-NRTL), non-random factor (NRF), modified NRTL (MNRTL) and extended Wilson (EW) models. Apparent molal volumes have been calculated from the densities of the solutions measured by a vibrating-tube densimeter, and fitted with the volumetric equations based on the Pitzer model and the local composition models. All of the models successfully correlate the experimental osmotic coefficients and apparent molal volume data.
