Abstract:
Experimental solubilities are reported for anthracene in binary solvent mixtures containing p-dioxane with n-hexane, cyclohexane, n-heptane, methylcyclohexane, n-octane, cyclooctane, and isooctane at 25 degrees C. Results of these measurements, used in conjunction with the nearly ideal binary solvent (NIBS) model, enabled excess Gibbs free energies, delta GBCfh, of the seven binary solvent mixtures to be estimated. Estimated values for p-dioxane plus cyclohexane, p-dioxane plus n-heptane, and p-dioxane plus methylcyclohexane mixtures are in reasonable agreement with published values based on vapor pressure measurements.
