Excess Volumes of Trichloroethylene with Some Aliphatic and Alicyclic Ketones at 303.15K and 313.15K

Abstract
Excess volumes on mixing for binary mixtures of trichloroethylene with aliphatic ketones and alicyclic ketones have been determined dilatometrically. The VE data are reported over the complete mole fraction range at 303.15K amd 313.15K. Aliphatic ketones include methylethylketone, methylpropylketone, diethylketone and alicyclic ketones are cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone The measured VE values are negative over the entire composition range. Temperature effect is also studied for all the binary systems. The observed values are interpreted in terms of (i) formation of hydrogen bond and (ii) dipole-induced dipole interactions between the dipole of the ketone and trichloroethylene.
