The excess molar volumes, VmE, of mixtures containing ethyl propanoate or ethyl butanoate with 1-chloroalkanes

Abstract

The excess molar volumes, VEm, of the binary mixtures ethyl propanoate + 1-chloroalkanes and ethyl butanoate + 1-chloroalkanes are indirectly determined from densities at 298.15 K. All the systems studied exhibit positive excess molar volumes along the range of concentrations, increasing, for a specific ester, with the 1-chloroalkane chain. On the contrary, the VEms decrease with the increase in R1in R1-CO-O-C2H5, upon mixing with a specific 1-chloroalkane.
