Thermophysical properties of the ternary system 2-methoxyethanol + acetonitrile + 1,2-dichloroethane, and the binary systems at 25°C

Abstract

Excess molar volumes, change of refractive indexes, and deviation of dynamic viscosity of the 2-methoxyethanol + acetonitrile, 2-methoxyethanol + 1,2-dichloroethane, and acetonitrile + 1,2-dichloroethane binary systems and the excess molar volumes of 2-methoxyethanol + acetonitrile + 1, 2-dichloroethane ternary system have been determined at 25°C and at atmospheric pressure, by measuring densities, refractive indexes, and viscosities over the entire range of composition. These derived data of binary and ternary mixtures were fitted to Redlich-Kister and Cibulka equations, respectively. An estimation of excess volumes is also evaluated using a modified Heller equation, which depends on the refractive indexes of the mixture. A comparison of the predictions by different methods with the experimental values of the physical properties has been made.
