Abstract
Experimental solubilities are reported for trans-stilbene dissolved in six binary alcohol + 1-propanol solvent mixtures at 25°C. The alcohol cosolvents studied were 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 1-pentanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol. 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 six systems studied, the Combined NIBS/Redlich-Kister equation was found to provide the better mathematical representation of the experimental data, with overall average absolute deviations between measured and calculated values being approximately ±0.4%. Slightly larger deviations were noted in the case of the Modified Wilson equation.
