Solubility of Anthracene in Binary Alkane Plus Chlorocyclohexane and Alkane Plus 1-Chlorooctane Solvent Mixtures at 298.2-K
Experimental solubilities are reported for anthracene dissolved in seven binary alkane + chlorocyclohexane and seven binary alkane + 1-chlorooctane solvent mixtures at 25 degrees C. The alkane cosolvents studied were hexane, heptane, octane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, and tert-butylcyclohexane (also called (1,1-dimethylethyl)cyclohexane). Results of these measurements are used to test two mathematical representations based upon the combined nearly ideal binary solvent (NIBS)/Redlich-Kister and modified Wilson equations. For the 14 systems studied, both equations were found to provide an accurate mathematical representation of the experimental data, with an overall average absolute deviation between measured and calculated values being 0.5% and 0.8% for the combined NIBS/Redlich-Kister and modified Wilson equations, respectively.
