Solubility of Anthracene in Binary Carbon Tetrachloride + Alkane Solvent Mixtures

Abstract
Experimental solubilities are reported for anthracene in binary solvent mixtures containing carbon tetrachloride with n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane and isooctane at 25°C. Results of these measurements, combined with the excess Gibbs free energies of the binary solvents, are used to test predictive expressions derived from the nearly ideal binary solvent (NIBS) model. Expressions based on a volume fraction average of solute properties in the two pure solvents predict anthracene solubilities to within a maximum deviation of 4.5% and an overall average deviation of 1.8%.
