Thermodynamics of glycerol trioleate + n-alkanes
Abstract
Excess volume measurements for glycerol trioleate + n-alkanes (5 ⩽n⩽ 18) at 30 °C are compared with predictions from a corresponding states theory of oligomeric mixtures. Quantitative discrepancies between theory and experiment suggest that glcerol trioleate does not behave like a long-chain hydrocarbon in its mixtures with n-alkanes.
