Solubilities, Densities, and Refractive Indices for the Ternary Systems 1,2-Propylene Glycol + MNO3 + H2O (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs) at 25 degrees and 35 degrees C
The solubilities, densities, and refractive index data for the 1,2-propylene glycol+MNO3+H2O (M=Na, K, Rb, Cs) ternary systems at 25 degrees and 35 degrees C were measured with mass fractions of 1,2-propylene glycol ranging from 0 to 1.0. In all cases, the presence of 1,2-propylene glycol significantly reduces the solubility of the salts in aqueous solution. The experimental data of density, refractive index, and solubility of saturated solutions for these systems were correlated using polynomial equations. Furthermore, the refractive index and density of unsaturated ternary solutions were also determined and correlated with the salt concentrations and proportions of 1,2-propylene glycol in the systems.
