Tracer Diffusion in Systems Exhibiting Enhanced Local Composition
Diffusion coefficients for the solute phenol blue in several binary liquid solvent mixtures were measured at 298 K. The solvents were binary mixtures of cyclohexane + acetone, cyclohexane + benzophenone, and cyclohexane + toluene. Certain experiments were compromised because phenol blue strongly adsorbed on stainless steel when the solvent was cyclohexane-rich. In contrast, high local compositions of acetone, benzophenone, or toluene around the solute prevented solute adsorption during the experiment.
