Excess Molar Volumes of Tetrahydrofuran with Ethyl Acrylate, Butyl Acrylate, Methyl Methacrylate, and Styrene at 298.15 K

Abstract

Densities of the binary systems of tetrahydrofuran (THF) with ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and styrene have been measured as a function of the composition, at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure, using an Anton Paar DMA 5000 oscillating U-tube densimeter. The calculated excess volumes were correlated with the Redlich-Kister equation and with a series of Legendre polynomials. The excess volumes are negative for all the systems studied. The system THF + methyl methacrylate behaves almost ideally.
