Abstract
Ultrasonic velocities (U) and densities (p) for binary liquid mixtures of acetophenone with 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, trichloroethene and tetrachloroethene were determined over the whole composition range at 303.15 K. Isentropic compressibilities (ks ) and deviation in isentropic compressibilities (Ks ) were computed from experimental sound velocities and densities. The experimental data were used to explain the effect of successive chlorination and unsaturation on ethane molecules.
