Excess thermodynamic functions of the systems: benzene + p-xylene and benzene + p-dioxan

Abstract

Excess compressibilities, heat capacities, volumes and heats have been studied at 25°C and 40°C for the binary solutions of p-xylene and p-dioxan in benzene. Using the excess volume data other excess properties have been predicted using the statistical thermodynamical theory due to Flory. Experimental values of the excess properties are found to be in good agreement with those predicted by the theory.
