THE EQUILIBRIUM DIAGRAMS, HEATS OF MIXING, DIPOLE MOMENTS, DENSITIES, AND BOILING POINTS OF THE SYSTEM ACETONE–CHLOROFORM–BENZENE

Abstract
The equilibrium diagrams show that a compound, stable in the solid state, is formed in the system chloroform–acetone, but no compound is formed in the binary systems chloroform–benzene and acetone–benzene. The ternary equilibrium diagram, the heats of mixing, and the dipole moments, all show that this compound continues to exist in the presence of benzene, up to a high concentration of benzene. Since a series of ternary mixtures is shown to exist having zero heat of mixing, it was thought that this series of mixtures might behave in a pseudoideal manner, but the determinations of density (molar volume) and boiling point show that this is not so.
