Partial Molar Volumes of 15-Crown-5 Ether in Mixtures of N,N-Dimethylformamide with Water

Abstract

The density of 15-crown-5 ether (15C5) solutions in the mixtures of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and water (H_2O) was measured within the temperature range 293.15–308.15 K using an Anton Paar oscillatory U-tube densimeter. The results were used to calculate the apparent molar volumes (V Φ ) of 15C5 in the mixtures of DMF + H_2O over the whole concentration range. Using the apparent molar volumes and Redlich and Mayer equation, the standard partial molar volumes of 15-crown-5 were calculated at infinite dilution (V_m^o). The limiting apparent molar expansibilities (α) were also calculated. The data are discussed from the point of view of the effect of concentration changes on interactions in solution.
