Solubility in binary solvent mixtures: Anthracene dissolved in alcohol plus acetonitrile mixtures at 298.2 K
Experimental solubilities are reported for anthracene dissolved in six binary alcohol + acetonitrile solvent mixtures at 25 degreesC. The alcohol cosolvents studied were methanol, ethanol, I-pentanol, 2-pentanol, 2-methyl-1-pentanol, and 4-methyl-2-pentanol. Results of these measurements are used to test a mathematical representation based upon the combined nearly ideal binary solvent (NIBS)/Redlich-Kister equation. For the six systems studied, the combined NIBS/Redlich-Kister equation was found to mathematically describe the experimental data to within an overall average absolute deviation of approximately +/-0.7%.
